compost heap Language variant: See below Explanation: "Compost windrow" looks good if it is on a large (agricultural) scale. If on a small (domestic) scale, especially if it is passive composting, "compost row" (if definitely row-shaped), otherwise "compost heap" (general term and much more common) or "compost pile" (USA).
