Organic Compost Pile

The photo above is my organic compost pile in my back yard.

My husband has an uncle who owns a huge orange farm in California.
He just followed his uncle’s way to dig a huge hole in the ground and put garden remains and kitchen garbage.

Without using any compost bins, this compost pile works fine for us.
We have never put any earthworms into the pile but there are so many earthworms living there.
We put all kitchen garbage except meats. Fortunately, We don’t smell anything bad nor don’t see any flies swarming on the pile.
We just love to smell the earthy dark soil.
