Compost Maker When I out vegggies peelings and such into my compost maker how long before it is turned to compost and?
you cannot see the peelings and such ? hours ,days weeks ?
Making compost is usually a "year" thing. The way to get a fabulous rotating supply of compost is to keep 3 "heaps"
1. Currently being added to
2. Sitting festering and maturing
3. In use
The "sitting festering" should really be left at least 6 months, (turning the heap occasionally to spread the bacteria and introduce oxygen into the heap) but a year is better.
If you don't have the space for 3 heaps, then use the "use from the bottom" method.
Add to the top of your compost heap, and use the finished product from the bottom. You can get compost bins with a hatch at the bottom for this purpose. You will need to use a "compost improver" sprinkled over the layers to help with breaking down of the "raw" material.
Whichever method you use, be careful not to add too much of a single "ingredient" at any one time. Lawn cuttings especially just end up as a slimy mess if too much is added at once. Autumn leaves don't compost well if added dry in volume and need to be soaked before adding, otherwise they will take more than a year to break down.
The best compost is a mixture of many different types of organic material.
