This pile is continuous. Oldest material on the left newest on the right. Temp maxes out at 120F and I am not getting a complete breakdown of the carbon materials. Any advice?
It’s hard to tell exactly how big it is with just this pic, but I suggest piling more upwards, till at least 3.5 feet high if it isn’t that tall already

Give it more time. It’ll compost slowly at 120F. If you want it faster, gotta go hotter, add more greens. Coffee grounds is a great one, add 6-8 five gallon buckets of coffee grounds from a local shop. Turned the pile. Jumped the temperature up to 150F the next morning.
