| Today is the day I have scheduled to turn my whole pile. I can't wit to get home to do this. What is wrong with me? It's a pile of rotting stuff and I sit at work anticipating getting home to turn it??? *sigh* ... I don't have an addictive personality but sometimes I do get obsessed :-: |

| Seems completely normal to me. ;-) Lloyd |

| I completely sympathize - I find it relaxing to sit outside with some scissors and cut up things for my compost... how sad is that! |

| I don't want to turn my pile, and rarely make what always ends up being a pitiful, completely ineffective, and utterly pointless waste-of-effort-attempt at it. Maybe you're the normal one and there's something wrong with me? It's ok, the compost will happen (much more slowly at my house than yours!) |

| The question should be "What is wrong with the people who think this is abnormal?" Turning compost is one of the more gratifying acts of gardening, on a par with harvesting potatoes or watching someone taste a "real" tomato, or eating peas right off the vine. |

| I like having my 7 year old with me so she can see the steam and feel the heat ... she thinks it's cool. Then we look at the bugs. |

| Pile turned. Seemed fairly evenly heated. Odd that there were dry spots after getting rain just about every day. I did water it about every foot. I'm OK with it being a little soggy because it will dry out. |

| I sent my spouse out with the compost the other day and *forgot to tell him which pile* to put it in. I was good when I realized he put new scraps in the nearly done pile. Once it stops being cold and drizzling, I'm going out there to move the new material. :) |
