Back on track....I hope

The pile went cold last week.  I tried turning, adding water and saying some magic words..nothing worked.

This last Monday I graduated from my husband calls "Compost College" - he said he would build me a three bin composting system as a graduation present.  With this in mind, I let the pile sit until I could revive it.  During this past week I mowed my back lawn and collected a 32 gallon can of lawn clippings.  

The new bin was constructed today:

The Prothero Pile is currently in the far right bin.  I mixed in most of the grass clippings and added water as I re-built the pile.  My theory is the pile ran out of gas (greens).

My first pile came out amazing.  I have a batch of compost tea brewing in the garage now.

Oh yeah, I'm a Master Composter!
