No, for compost; perhaps, for compostables. Composting is the process. Compostable materials are what's eligible for the composting process. And compost is the end result. Successful composting requires subjecting eligible materials to proper levels of air, moisture, and temperature; and to regular turning. If composting follows proper procedure, then compost is dark brown, fresh-smelling, organic matter-rich particles that doesn't need to be made any more finer than it already is. Likewise, compostable materials may be placed as they are in the compost bin, box or pile. But the larger materials break down faster in smaller pieces. And so you may choose to chop, cut, segment, or shred compostable materials that take up more composting space, and possibly therefore more composting time.

What is an organic way to keep flies away from a compost pile?
AnswerIf there are flies in a compost pile, there's an inbalance between carbon and nitrogen in the pile. There are a couple of ways to keep flies away from your compost pile... First of all try not to add meat, fish, or dairy products to your pile. Concentrated nitrogen sources like these and attract flies, as well as rats. If you do add them, chop them up, and bury them in the middle of the pile. Cover them with existing compost, dry leaves, straw, and/or sawdust. Fruit or vegetable matter should also be chopped and buried in the middle of the pile.This makes it hard for flies to reach the high-nitrogen materials to lay their eggs. Increasing the amount of "brown", high-carbon materials gives bacteria the upper hand in the pile. They'll break the scraps down before they can attact flies.If you can you should shred your compost materials before adding to the pile to about two inch pieces. This will speed up decomposition and increase the temperature of the pile. High temperatures kill existing fly larva.Rotating and aerating your pile can also help get rid of maggots since they can not survive in the center of a compost pile because of the heat.
