Compost Curing


Pulled my pile out of the bin to flip it, but I'm wondering if I should go ahead and put the compost in the new 4'x8' no dig beds I've prepared for spring.

Pile is just under 1 cubic yard and about 3 months old. Temps haven't gotten above 96 in about 2 weeks. I could just keep the pile in the bin and turn periodically until I'm ready to use it in the spring, but I'd like to take advantage of the bin and start a new pile while I still have plenty of greens available in the yard.

So, would it be better just to keep it in the bin to cure for a while longer, or would it really make a difference if it cured in the beds over winter instead?

    I’d put it in your beds so you have space to compost more. It looks great.
