So this pile was chugging along, then slowed down a bit when cold weather hit in the fall. During that time I mixed in a bunch of browns thinking I could still get it to compost, but it pretty much completely halted things. Been peeing on it, but not adding anything at this point. Thinking I need to mix in a ton of lawn clippings, maybe some coffee grounds? Also have a good amount of rotting fruit that’s fallen off my citrus trees I can throw in. Thoughts?

It looks pretty dry
Yeah, looks like it consumed all the greens.
I always have an abundance of browns in the fall, so its the same for me every year. Unless I hunt for greens i get way to much browns.
You can let it mature, just keep it moist, and let the brown decompose slowly.

Lasagna.
Add in all materials you have now but layer it like a lasagna. Then turn it once a week if you wanna use it this season.
Meanwhile, start a new pile.
