Hey folks,
A few months ago a friend of mine who lives near me,
pointed out a good solution to avoid spendig money on fertilizers,
which is piling garden trash,
but the thing is how long will it take for my pile to be ready for the
soil? And anyway it smells!

The time it takes depends on the mix of ingredients in it, the temperature,
how often you turn it and if you have the moisture right. From 6 weeks to a
year. If it has been snowing those microorganisms are not working much at
all. They all smell somewhat but if it is a really revolting sour smell it
means that it has gone anaerobic, that is not enough air and/or too wet.
