Day 2 of the re-build

Ambient temp 56

Pile core temp 99

I'm hoping we're back to making compost.  I didn't do the math with the original pile build (I don't like ratio math) and I'm thinking I didn't take into consideration the amount of pine needles I was working with.  I did chop them with my mulching mower but now it looks like it could have used more green.

The most fun about this sort of thing is you really can't do it "wrong" - everything will break down eventually.  Getting your hands in the dirt and trying different "recipes" is sometimes the best part.

Spent some time at the Family Fun extravaganza at the convention center today.  We were talking worms to any kid that would listen.  Kids are the best.
