Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 39883, member: 944"] Eggshells are fine and I put them in mine but it takes a long time for them to break down. You are turning it way too often. A compost pile must be allowed to build up heat. A good hot pile will reach 120 F - 140 F and if you keep turning it so often it cannot reach proper temps. You will have a hotter pile if you water it with carbohydrates such as left over soft drinks like coke and pepsi or beer. Not too much just enough to keep the entire thing moist [/QUOTE]
