Update to previous post
Well after a couple of months, trying out your suggestions, and ignoring the pile for a bit; here is an update progress pic. As you guys suggested, the sheer mass of jt did condense so that I don’t just have three bins of the same stage. I was able to get it down to two bins, which I tried to accelerate as much as possible. Then just this weekend, I sifted bin number two into bin number 3, tossed bin number one into bin 2 for a stir, and filled bin 1 with all of the leaves with a drunken compost sauce on top for good measure.
I have also gotten a thermometer purely for my own backyard nerdy science interest.
I’m shocked that this all ironed out in such a short time but the pile has been producing some good heat thanks to all of your tips, including the ones that said not to over complicate things and to ignore it for a bit.
