If at all. I know some folks just let it sit and go low and slow.

Just curious to see what you folks prefer.

(Is vermicompost verboten on this board? 😬)

My mother got tired of her subpod and gave it to me along with an aerator tool: https://subpod.com/products/subpod-compost-aerator

I’ve been using that for the subpod along with my basic compost bin I picked up from the city. I aerate almost daily as I add fresh kitchen waste. Dump in the new stuff, dig deep and pull up from the bottom, just enough to fully cover the new bits.

Based on the answers here, am I doing too much? My compost is good and hot, seems healthy!

Vermicomposting is cool too! I dont think you can really overaerate your compost. At the end of the day whether you aerate every day or once a year its gonna rot. Really just depends on what timeframe youre interested in and what you want to get out of it.
