It’s a mix of food scraps, yard waste and mulch. Ratios aren’t exact I kind of eyeball it but for every scoop of nitrogen I add ~2-4 scoops of carbon. I’ll usually water it after I turn it to get it to 50% moisture but it’ll dry fairly quick and it’s too much of a process to water it daily to keep at that 50%. I only turn it maybe once every couple of weeks. It’s about 3’ x 3’. Any thoughts on why it isn’t reaching temp? It stayed at 80 degrees when the weather was warmer maybe a month ago and is sitting around 60 degrees in the colder temps.

Did you pee on it?
Almost sounds like you’re over watering it. I rarely if ever add water to my mix.
pile is too small, outside temps don’t help.
turning every other week can work if there’s enough air and moisture. If you search for ‘winter pile’ you should find some examples
