Re: [compost_tea] Watering and turning
It is always time versus money. If you have a year or two to allow composting to occur, and can keep the pile decently aerobic, then you don't have to turn, ever.
But if you want compost in 6 to 8 weeks, you have to turn each time the pile gets up to 155 to 160 F. Don't let it go anaerobic.
And then there's all the intermediate time/turning/food resource mixes/pipes into the pile/ etc You need to learn which things are important at which times. Or let the organic matter compost for two years or so. Your choice.
