QUESTION: How long does it take for an orange peel to compost?
ANSWER: Depending on the environment that you provide in your compost pile, it can take orange peels up to six months to decompose fully. You can speed up the decomposition process of your orange peels by tearing them into small pieces, as smaller pieces will break down quicker. You can also increase the speed of decomposition by being sure to turn your pile once every couple of weeks.
