I have tried composting before using different methods, but I've never got it quite right. I want to try again, but one thing has always really confused me. Most things I've read say that you should add everything you're going to add and then let the pile decompose into compost and that all you should be doing while its "working" is turn it and keep it moist. But then on TV shows I see people just throwing whatever weeds/debris they have for the day onto the compost as if that's just what you do whenever you have debris. But I thought you were supposed to make the compost pile and then leave it alone so it can decompose. Do you usually keep two piles? One that is full and just decomposing and one that you can keep adding to? I am really looking forward to understanding this!
