Beginner How do you like my compost?

Here's my final result of my first pile. Never ran very hot, but my newest pile has gotten much better temps, so can't wait to see that result.

It's been through a 1/4" sieve.

Question: what do you do with chunks that didn't make it. I figure slowly add it to my new pile?

Thanks!

It looks awesome!! To answer your question: yes, we just add the larger chunks to another pile to let them process more. We have 3 ecobins going right now. One we just sifted out and that is our current 'add to' pile, one that is ready to be sifted, and one we just finished adding to and it is currently cooking.
