In the last week, our heaps have received a giant sack of lawnclippings,

from the farm up the road (wool and muck) and four of seaweed. [etc. etc.]

Janet: what I'd like to know is: how often do you turn your compost,
and how do you turn it?

Since I acquired a Muck Fork[1] from the local farm suppliers, turning
compost has become much easier (as has forking up any vegetable
materials), but it is still hard work, especially as I feel I ought to
reverse the bottom and top of any given compost heap, in the process of
turning it (i.e. turn the whole lot out, and restack it, every few
weeks).
