Bajan, I thought is was called Lamb's Bread?...
Lou you're from FL? doood hit me up.
you're composting on and in a black plastic tarp? seems to me would foster anaerobic composting conditions... you probably have to turn that pile once a week, huh?
I prefer a hot and fast, active static pile method of aerobic composting. with aerobic (aka. thermal) composting the compost will retain more of the nutrients as apposed to anaerobic (aka cold, passive) composting. cite
however, with aerobic major losses in carbon and nitrogen may occur .... which probably need to be addressed later in the soil making process. cite
I've seen structures people can build... I think Smalphy made one out of re-purposed palettes... that maintain an aerobic pile yet, have a place underneath to catch the compost leachate, but from what I've read, composting on the ground underneath old growth is preferable for the attraction of BIM.
Layering compost feedstock is not recommended for a fast hot pile. the layers won't compost evenly enough and constant turning is required to achieve a homogeneous final product.
pre-mixing the inoculate with the feedstock and maintaining a 50% overall moisture level, as I've demonstrated here is the preferred method for a fast hot pile that needs little to no turning before the compost is complete. You should try it sometime
Respect

Ok... put down the pipe and step away from the computer Twisted.
