If composting follows proper procedure, then it'll be the organic matter called humus in 21 days to a year. The amount of time depends on the turning. A minimum of a turn each day should give the desired results in less than a month.

But this assumes that bedrock and gravel will be left to natural weathering processes. However, mechanical means of pulverizing bedrock and gravel would be faster than breaking compostable materials down into humus, for use as a soil amendment, fertilizer or mulch.

Does bedrock turn into humus?

No. Humus is organic matter, and formed over the years as living organisms (mostly plants) die and decompose in the soil. It is about 58% carbon, by weight. Bedrock can decompose, too, but it never becomes humus. Depending on the type of bedrock, it breaks down into sand, silt, gravel and clay minerals. Limestone bedrock may dissolve.
