Couldn't you stir it daily? Or set up a drip system?

Is it really that much better than just working the compost into the soil? I mean, is it worth the trouble? And if so, how often?

I was thinking of maybe picking up a solar powered aerator and trying a small bucket. You just put nice compost into a bucket of water, stir, and let the aerator work for a few days?

Could someone link to a good pump so I can compare specs with the solar powered ones?

I did find this:

Which seems pretty straightforward.
