A Garden and Home expert from ExpertVillage.com tells us clearly and concisely this important information as part of a larger section on Learning Organic Garden Composting Online. The bottom line is that compost takes a long time to develop, about six months to two years, depending on the carbon/nitrogen ratio and how often you turn the compost. It is ready when there is no recognizable matter in it any more. In other words, your kitchen scraps, weeds, straw or whatever else you have added to the bin should have decomposed entirely and become beautiful natural organic compost.
