Just started a big compost pile! It is probably 40% cow manure (mostly dried cow patties) to 60% dried oak leaves and pine needles. I water it almost every day and ensure it’s moist in the hot weather we have been having, but seeking advice on other things to add or how to improve. I’m composting for a 200 plant tobacco grow I have access to unlimited cow poo and leaves but looking to improve and just seek advice from more experienced horticulturalist! Thanks and happy growing 🥳

Sounds like a good start and that should work well.
The pile could probably take a little more greens – food scraps, grass clippings, spent coffee grinds, and things like that if you have them available. You’ll want them in smaller quantities than the leaves/needles.
Nice pile !!
