) but that may have something to do with climate because under the snow it seems to break down fine for spring. I also like a bit of texture because the soil has lots of clay so when the compost is worked in it keeps it from compacting too much. Not putting oakleaves or weed heads in. The weed heads I burn, the oakleaves .... well you see the pile up above. Mine is mostly kitchen scrap that I cut pretty small before they go out, dried plant stems, and corrigated cut into small pieces. Inky and I like to sit in the sun and cut up cardboard. The worms like it too!
