I made it late in the autumn, 12 bales of hay and 60+ pumpkins if I remember correctly. Or was it more? The experience was so terrible I went back to gym haha. It had enough time to get hot once but then came the sleet and it never heated back up again.
But that's no fresh straw! A lot of nice dark stuff smelling of earth, I made my neighbour smell it too. I'll let it sit for a few weeks more and then use it in some flower beds. It seems to me some nice, soft rotten straw improves this damn clay so much. Got some other goodies too like crumbly ripe stuff from last summer and just commercial horseshit compost from a trusty local producer.
I'm going to plant so so many flowers 😎
(Will be a few weeks before building the next pile!)
(Yes I have the wonkiest thumbs.)
