Old Compost?!
Really lovin this community appreciate all the feed back really do!
I have an old compost pile that I’ve been using for months now and it went south (anaerobic) its cool now but was wondering if i could use that as a brown in my 18 day compost i will be making after watching Perma Pastures videos off of Brighteon?

Well I did it 1st time 18 day compost attempt in this 105deg weather. Hot 🥵

Couldn’t get to 6” from the top like the P.I.M.P’s but I got it right at 1CU yard

So for posterity it went south WAY south epic fail believe it was an Oxygen level issue because it was heavier then the fresh 30 bucket recipe I’m following from Patreon now .the premixing in the 30 buckets seems to help 100%, because I had massive pockets of Actino the first time from the clumped up Nitrogen, plus going off the 140 for 3 days 150 for 2 160 for 1 on(30 bucket method) seems to be a lot more accurate then the 4 day leave it Berkeley Hot 18 day method. Plus following the 30 bucket recipe took the guess work out of portioning

Just getting back on the site after a long leave. Sounds like you were able to get er going again, my experience with compost piles is they are very forgiving. Moisture, fluffiness (turning) and covering are key, if you have a thermometer that’s a bonus if not shove your hand in the center and if you can keep it there for 5 seconds its working well if not add golden flow (urine), if too hot shove a handle into the center to create a smoke stack to allow the excess heat to vent. Hopefully this helps. God Bless from TN formerly WYO
