No Need to Flip Yet

Two compost piles are still cranking away. Back on the 2nd I combined and flipped two older and cold piles and worked in 15 pounds or so of aged chicken manure to activate it. I also started a new pile with a fig and tree trimmings. Well, the new pile peaked a week ago around 150 but is strong at 140 still and the "old" pile also hit 150 but is currently at 120. This is great, no need to flip until I see them hit 100 or so.

14 days and both piles still hot! I'm thinking next weekend will probably be time to give at least the combined pile a flip.
