Turning Compost

Yesterday I went out and started to turn my compost. I had to clear a bunch of snow off but got to it pretty quickly. I had never really looked at our compost pile but to my surprise it is doing extremely well. The sign of good compost is that it looks and smells like regular dirt, and that is what my compost pile is! I ran in to a little problem. The bottom half of the pile was frozen and I couldn't break through it. So I am going to have to wait until it warms up a bit in order to fully turn the entire pile.
