There is a common misunderstanding about what it
takes to make good, sweet smelling composted soil. William Bryan
Logan discusses this in his iconic book Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of
the Earth. Compost is not something which you should box up and to
which you should deny air.
No, instead, you should upturn it on a regular basis
so that plenty of air can get to all parts of the compost. That does
not mean that you should dry it out or put it into some sort of
highly unnatural airing system or modification device. No, nature
will do her own work, thank you very much.
Instead, if you own property and are doing your own
compost, be sure to look up “The Compost Man,” a legendary figure
who started a composting movement within and outside of cities, using
this turning aerating technique. The point is not so much to use an
aerator as it is to turn the soil and expose different parts of it to
the earth and slime below and different parts to the air above. When
used effectively, worms in these composting zones can turn millions
of pounds of earth in a year. The trick is to let it rest for a
while, and then turn it, and repeat this process over and over until
the worms and critters have turned a pile of trash into sweet, life
smelling soil.
