Compost needs oxygen to break down efficiently. Turn your compost regularly to ensure air circulates.

Keep your compost pile moist but not too wet. Too much moisture can make it soggy, while too little can slow the decomposition process.

Compost works best at temperatures between 55°C and 70°C. A well-maintained compost pile should heat up, which helps break down materials faster.
