Can A Pile Be Too Big?

I use to Compost in a smaller bin but now my Bins are twice as big and it may take me a couple days to turn.

Also not sure my Tea Bags are breaking down. I bought these bags and use bulk Tea in them.

I guess the real question is, does compost "expire", or does it stay good forever in the piles? If it's good for life, then I'd say nope...can't be too big. Otherwise, I'd say it depends on how much you can use, sell, or give away. Doesn't cost anything to make it right? Just pretty much throwing a bunch of organic waste out there and letting it do its thing. Free fertilizer! If you have the material and the space, it could be a good supplemental money maker for you.

Well I've used one Big pile this year really didn't have enough.

This next pile may be another month.
