I had to mow some grass and the result was a big pile of grass clippings. I added some shredded paper/cardboard and sawdust, but it's not nearly enough for a 50/50 nitrogen to carbon ratio. I am supposed to get more sawdust in the next week.

2 days into this hot pile and the temperatures are around 65 degrees celsius. Should I aerate everyday or less often? When to turn the pile inside out?

The smell is quite intensive. Not in a bad way, just intensive smell of hot decaying grass. Not sure if this is ok or not.

P.S. The pile has shrunk quite a bit in just 2 days.
