Dual Batch Composting

The Alternating Principle

If you produce enough organic waste, at a certain point, the composter will fill up, and there will be a pile of organic waste that will slowly build up. Simply continue to turn the composter approx. 3 times, every 3 days, but do not continue to add material to it. This is the perfect opportunity to invest in another composter, and take advantage of the alternating principle. One composter will be filled and allowed to create mature compost, and while that composter is cooking, the other composter will be filled. By the time the second composter is full, the first composter will have completed a mature batch of compost.
