Composting requires air for good results. Even an above-ground,
open air compost pile needs occasional stirring to bring fresh air
into the center of the pile.

A lack of air results in anaerobic fermentation. The final
product is slimy, foul smelling, and not suitable for many garden
uses.

Something I'm after as well is continuuing to live without trash pickup. I
find that easy except for green waste.
But I wonder about having only one pile and continuously adding to it.
Seems that it would never be "done". I would be willing to take on a small
horizontal rotator but don't know of one.

Since my yard is so small and the activity of composting so close by, what
would really get my interest is a horizontal rotator with an automatic
photovoltaic rotation and connection to my sprinkler system to keep it moist
but that would be as much of a toy as a serious tool.
