Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mixing or rotating the compost pile helps to speed up decomposition and ensure that all materials are evenly broken down, while avoiding hazardous materials prevents pollution and contamination. Fertilizing the compost pile may not be necessary if the right balance of brown (carbon-rich) and green (nitrogen-rich) materials are used. Disposing of the compost regularly may not be necessary if it is being used in a garden or for other purposes. Avoiding adding food products or weeds may limit the diversity of materials in the compost pile and slow down decomposition.
