hi
i have a large Dalek and i was only turning mine today and to be honest it looks great in there, i just get my fork in and dig it about, and turn it around, if you get the larger one its not bad to do. My compost is nice and dark and everything is breaking down nicely, i do however, cut my veg peelings up small and shred the newspaper and make sure that i layered with manure as well as grass etc, i think it all depends on the layers you put in, i areate every week.
Hope this helps, happy composting :-)
