Compost heap activation
 
After finally setting up a 'dalek' compost heap behind the shed, I've
read a few things about how to look after it but the one piece of
information which eludes me is:

How often should I **** on it?

How often should I **** on it?


How long is a piece of string? ;-)

Only when somebody else isn't. Unless you trust them not to switch
their aim.

Whenever you're busy in the garden, your bladder is full, and your
boots are muddy.

Being male, whenever I want to activate the heap i can just wander up to it,
enjoy the scenery and "acivate", I'm afraid the mental image of your
activating procees is less appealing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recall that everyday when my dad came home from work he used to "visit the
garden". I thought this was to check if the plants were growing properly;
one day in my late teens he put me straight on the matter...

However I must admit that I am looking at far more comfort in the Motor

It depends what you put in the heap. If there are a lot of wood
chippings you can **** quite regularly and should certainly try
somekind of activation. For most other types of composting
matter you don't really need any ****.

It would make more sense to remove the lid and **** IN it rather than over
it. Initially, that's where I went wrong.

No! No!. What you mean is how long is his chopper.
A properly constructed compost heap can develop much heat, and could not
only be brimful, - but harmful.

Not at all. Earlier today Paula Radcliffe showed the entire nation

But would she have been discrete if she had been squatting over a compost
heap left along the route?

One of many reasons I have never taken part in the Tour de France is
that, apparently, competitors don't stop cycling for the purpose.
