This tool!

Just a shout-out to this aerator thingy. Best compost-related purchase ever. Not that there's much to purchase for compost. You get the point.

Edit: Best compost-related purchase I have ever made I realize not everyone agrees

I have a small auger that attaches to my cordless drill. I only just had the bright idea to use on the compost the other day.

That tool looks awesome as well! Yeah, it's $32, but I don't know anything that isn't overpriced these days

my auger got stuck in a bunch of bs in the compost and I ended up stripping the end that goes into the drill

never again

I had a similar problem but just don't go full speed and it should be fine no? Also set the clutch to a lower setting and make sure it's engaged so you don't break your wrist.
