So my compost pile was basically full of an old grass clippings pile from scalping the lawn last year, with a load of humus/soil and dried grape wine twigs from the general area when cleaning it up (there's some scoria in there because previous owners had that shit all over, so this first batch isn't going to be great in that regards).
It had definitely run out of nitrogen juice but I had a nice wall of canna Lillies that needed cutting down so layered that up in between the carbon. Hoping the water content just keeps it nice and damp along with the winter rains and it decomposes relatively quickly.
Won't be any shit in the next batch as it'll be solely grass clippings and garden waste that I can cut to size, and will probably get a mulcher at some point to get everything nice and small to go in it, as there'll be fruit tree prunings and other slightly harder stuff that will just benefit from a mulching!
Current content that basically just gave up, you can see the stones and twigs and shit that I just piled into it when I was cleaning up
