layer it pete, greens, browns: like manure, leafs, grass clippings ,,,sprinkle some bloodmeal on top,,,and repeat. build em 3 to 4 feet tall, not higher. Water each layer,,,but dont soak it,,,just wet it down a bit. Should heat up fast. Turn it every three weeks or once a month.

good luck

Watch your grass clippings pete if they have used weed & feed type products.
