"There are various ways to turn compost – the most thorough being to empty the bin then refill it, or to move the contents from one bin to another," the Royal Horticultural Society said.
Gardeners urged to delay one key job now and to 'do it in April' Experts have urged gardeners to postpone one crucial gardening task until the warmer weather arrives.
January is the perfect time to start planting bare-root roses, shrubs, and ornamental trees (as long as the ground isn't frozen), deadheading winter pansies, prune your climbing roses, and even have a shot at making your own mistletoe.
Turning your compost is a great way to aerate your heap or bin to speed up decomposition and make sure everything gets broken down properly.
It can also help dry the compost out, preventing it clump together due to high moisture levels - which is somewhat inevitable with the amount of rain we get.
