Compost pile.

barrgemike · Dec 7, 2008

I'm starting a compost pile, and i was wondering if i should start it in a tub or something? Or can i do it on the ground?

Either way doesn't matter to me.

And does it being winter have anything to do with it?Cause the pile can't stay warm? cause i thought it needed to be warm, but my step dad says other wise.

Thanks guys. :mrgreen:

Container or pile. Compost happens. A healthy compost pile will generage its own heat. That's part of the process.

Thanks man, you think if it's about 30 degrees outside at night it'll still stay warm enough? :peace:

We got a good 5 acres, so rooms no biggy. Mowing is a bitch though. :-?

yeah doesnt take all that long either. I used coco coirthat had already been used before in mine. and grew tomatoes with it. and used the water and nutes from my res tank and it worked great.
