Answer / guest
Compost is full of living things (microorganisms,
earthworms, insects, and other creatures) that need air,
water, and nutrients to function. A compost pile needs to
be fluffy so that there are plenty of spaces (what
scientists call pores) for air to move about. Occasionally
turning your pile refluffs the material, moves new material
into the center, and helps improve airflow into the pile
Compost microbes also need the right amount of water. Too
much moisture reduces airflow, causes temperatures to fall,
and can make the pile smell bad; too little water slows
decomposition and prevents the pile from heating.
