10 Tips for Winter Composting — The Family Handyman

To get the most out of your compost, make sure the pile is 3 to 4 feet on each side. This is done to allow retention of generated heat and air diffusion. When placing alternating layers of material on the pile, sprinkle water in so the material is moist but not soggy. As layers are added, a handful or two of topsoil or winter composting substance between the layers will supply a source of microorganisms and absorb odors. Enrich your soil, improve its structure, and give your plants a much-needed nutrient boost the easy, sustainable way, with composting in place.
