My compost pile is not working. My 10 year old daughter and came up with a science fair project: to see what makes compost work. The idea was to get some compost going and then put a sample into two containers. Sterilize one and not the other and then measure the temperature of each to show that bacteria and microorganisms make compost work. There is also the background reading about composting and garbage. Anyway the science fair is two weeks away and the compost pile is cold. We live in Tucson so nights are in 40s and days in 60s. What can I do to get it going. I'm willing to cheat. Where can I go and get some compost. I'd go and buy a bunch of compost and switch piles while my daughter is sleeping. Is anyone in TUCSON listening?
