However, it could take longer if you do not tend to it regularly. When winter arrives, simply keep the compost covered and once spring hit you will be able to mix, moisten and start it right back up. @Bridget Schlaefer, During your warmer months in SE Wisconsin, assuming you have a good mix of browns and greens, keep it moist and aerate it weekly it should break down in 5 to 8 weeks.
