Teaching the next generation how to hydrate before turning the pile.
It is a warm dry winter in rural Utah. I often add water to the pile before turning.
This pile is comprised of sheep/chicken manure, spent hay/straw, yard trimmings, shredded paper/boxes, wood chips from a local tree service, and kitchen scraps.

Do you have a lot of water in your location? Keeping that pile wet is going to be a challenge if you don’t (and the reason why composting takes ages in zones >8). Also, it would be wiser to wet the pile every few inches vs from the top of the pile, as most water will run off to the sides.
