Started a new compost pile a few days ago...
Rather than mixing everything on a tarp first, the ingredients went into the bin in single-bucket layers. Every few buckets I added a handful of cottonseed meal and cheap cat food for high nitrogen. It seems to be heating up nicely.
The first turn showed the inside was a little dry, which I think was indicated by the temperature dropping rapidly right before turning. Getting the moisture level right is harder when it's not mixed on a tarp first.
