Made my first pile

I used the spare chicken wire I had to make a leaf mold pile. Well, I read it takes at least a year so then I thought why don’t I turn this into a compost heap since my 35 gallon DIY tumbler wasn’t keeping up with the vegetable scraps from my kitchen lol.

I shredded the leaves with a weed whacker, 2 months of vegetable scraps I had frozen, and a large feeding bag worth of dried cow manure that’s been at >120F for a month.

Yes I peed on it already and I hope the dog does as well lol
