Weedwhacker said:David, when I add "stuff" to my compost pile, whether it's potato peels or some spoiled tomatoes out in the garden, I usually just kind of dig a hole in the pile, dump the new stuff in, and cover it back up with the older compost. The new things seem to start breaking down quicker that way, as well as not being right on top for all to see.

thanks for your advice i will have to change my attitude from just dumping it onto the pile and runnning off to work ,to a more concious act.the wire fence wont work in my neigborhood.but i got some more wood chips and try to throw them each time i unload my organic matter into the pile.
if the pieces of wood do not decompose and just stay as air providing components does it not ichange the whole texture of the final product?
