On top of last year's pig pen, we have piled horse manure, chicken coop cleaning, goat and sheep barn cleaning, pine cones, small branches, yucca, pine needles, bark, leaves, and sawdust.
Pile is about 5 x 5 x 3, on top of the hog wallow and hog manure.
We are not watering the pile today. The materials from the horse lot are very, very wet. We will check moisture tomorrow.
Temperature today is in the 50s, and has been 40s through 60s for a few weeks. We know it isn't spring yet, but hopefully the pile is large enough to keep that warmth, make it's own heat, and encourage the breakdown of materials.
