Turn material to be composted with a fork or rake so that the wetness is even throughout, This should be repeated in one week. Turning the pile once week speeds composting.
TURNING THE PILE ONCE A WEEK SPEEDS COMPOSTING. Add more water if pile starts to dry out.

MATERIALS FOR COMPOSTING
It would be impossible to name all the material that may be used for composting. In making compost it should be noted what material stubbornly resists decay, will be correspondingly be slow to disintegrate in the compost pile. It is best to avoid dry, woody material such as corn stalks, sawdust and coarse hedge trimmings. These are very slow to compost and make poor quality, low nitrogen humus. Because of the wide range of materials for composting it is impossible to set a definite date to complete the process, or to state a chemical analysis of the finished product. This will vary with the materials you may use.
