Yes! The natural way to compost. I generally keep all compostable
materials in one pile. Every spring I move what hasn't decomposed to the
place where this year's pile will be, and distribute the compost. No
muss, no fuss, and practically no work.
Anybody who advocates turning compost piles every couple of weeks
apparently doesn't have a very big compost pile, or simply has too much
time.
