This is my first pile, its about a month and a half old by now. I didnt know it would shrink so much so it isint too big of a pile at the moment but its starting to turn nicely dark i think.
Also smelling like earth, im managing to not get any funny smells so far but i did think of it as a bit sludgy, maybe from the cardboard i cut up and used

Needs more food… I feed mine weekly with grass clippings… the heat it produces and cook an egg.. my compost thermometer was at 193f yesterday morning
Keep adding to it! It looks to me like you need more browns, especially if it smells like rotting food. You have a good start going.
oh it looks like container compost to me
might be a tad wet and could use more brown
however, this looks finished enough you could just apply it to an established outdoor garden bed with no concern.
