How Can My Compost Ever Be “done” When I Keep Adding New Material?

Question

also, flies are a real problem, even though I turn the compost every week

Answer 1

Ideally, once you fill a bin, you start with another for fresh compost adding. Having a two part system will get around the problems that come with one compost pile. Otherwise, if you only want one compost pile around, you will have to halt adding new material for awhile.
