Thanks for the tips guys. I guess I shouldn't really be expecting much, since I realized that I don't have very much material going into the pile. If I put half a pound a day, that's a lot. Guess that gives me more incentive to eat fruits and veggies.

I bought two black 30 gallon rubbermaid containers from HD. I'm going to just put some good soil in them, dig a hole in the middle and dump in my material. It probably won't do anything till spring, but at least I"ll have a couple months worth of material when spring comes. Then I'll mix everything up and use it in my hop and veggie garden. In summer, I'll do the heap method, like Gila and many others use. In spring and summer, i'll be turning out black gold every month or so hopefully.

We compost spoiled feed on our dairy farm, adding 2 wheelbarrows per day, we reach temps of 160 degrees in the center of the heap in the middle of the winter.

But, can you really call it failure if that was the only part you were really good at?
