I started composting in my backyard...

It's really turning into something.

Did You Know?

"Turning into something" plays double duty here — literally, since compost piles need to be turned to add oxygen, and figuratively, since it's becoming rich soil. Fun fact: a well-managed compost pile can heat up to 140°F thanks to microbial activity, and finished compost can take just a few months to form from scraps.
