sod decomposition result

Six months back I asked this sub for advice about manually removing my lawn and shared a photo the pile of sod that resulted & my goal of composting it. I had read conflicting info about how to best do that. Some people said it was sod a green, some a brown, some said it absolutely needed to be aerobically managed & some said anaerobic was fine. I added cardboard, a small amount of chicken manure, and some EM-1 to it then let it sit and hoped for the best. I could not be more pleased with the results and thought I would share them here. Here is the final result. I did sift it. It is mostly composted, so if you want it fully composted you will probably go longer. I know this is not a composting sub but since many of you might have extra sod lying around I thought I would share. The internet made me think I might get stinky mats of black mold or something but that didn’t happen at all. Zone 10b.
