With only two batches "under our belts," we have a long way to go in learning how best to do this @bdmillergallery. We did take some material from the cold compost to add to our YIMBY on the 2nd batch. Didn't really help much, as far as we could tell. We also added green grass clippings on this 2nd batch, but we still were unable to get the temperature up into the "hot" zone ...

I think we have a lot to learn about the ratio of brown to green and how green we should leave the plants. Doesn't seem as straightforward as we were led to believe initially. But ... Maybe we are just dummies ... 😉

What I am sure of is we're having a lot of fun! 👍
