Harvesting Your Compost

Most people find that they can harvest their compost from the bottom of the pile every 6 months or so. If you have a good mix of greens and browns make sure to mix it thoroughly and often so that it doesn't get too dry or too wet; if you do this you can create compost in as little as 6 weeks.

With the Earth Machine compost you can easily lift the door and empty out the compost toward the bottom of the pile. Also with the Earth Machine if you want to see your entire compost pile you can unscrew the pegs, lift the entire bin, load the finished compost in a wheelbarrow and place the unfinished compost back into the Earth Machine.
