Hello, super noobie here. Would really appreciate your help in what I need to do to get my compost going again. I started this bin 8/24. It's been going really great up to this week. I stopped adding to this pile after a week of starting since the bin was full and I wanted it to "finish". Most all of the greens have gone, but there are still a lot of leaves and twigs left. The size has almost halved. I turn it two or three times a week. The bin remains moist and it looks like some sort of sprouts have started to grow in it. What worries me is that it has gone cold. I believe it's stopped decomposing. Does it need more browns? Or should I add more greens? Or do I just need to be more patient? Or something else…? I do beg my husband to pee on it, but he refuses. If I keep adding materials to it, wouldn't the bin never be done? Thank you in advance!
