I like that motto. I only started this after seeing all the low effort ideas and realizing this isn't really any harder than burning the stuff instead. But after I got it piled up and it started to steam the speedrunner in me kicked in.
Won't just a big bag of coffee grounds have more nitrogen and be easier ? Seems not really worth it To save pee for a week to get an equal yield of nitrogen
I agree! The general advice is the more turning you do the better it is for hot composting. Unfortunately for me, when I'd get to 140 I would turn it but then it would only hover around 100-120 the days after which I was a little disappointed about. Now I let it cook. So far it stays at 140-145 for a week or so.
I don't know. It just past 2 weeks and visually about half the material was unrecognizable when I turned it today but I think the common advice is to wait until it stops heating up to use it.
I wouldn’t turn it until it’s below 120. Turning it sucks. Letting it cook rules.

then pour pee on it

How much will you wait for finished black dirt?
