We feed round bales to the horses during the winter months and we get a lot of waste hay. Although we started using a hay cradle this year, we still have waste. I use the landscape rake to gather and pile and end up with 3-4 good buckets of waste, nasty, rotting, pee, poop, hay mix. I've been dumping it over the fence into the woods with the intentions of making compost for the wifes garden that she is supposedly going to plant in the spring.
Problem is, I really don't know if I need to do anything else to it and when to turn it. Should I dig a hole and put it in the hole, set it flat on the ground, cover it with a tarp or dirt, leave it uncovered. I add to it about once per week or so. Any suggestions are appreciated.
