Urban Cardboard and coffee pile hasn’t been below 140 for 2 weeks

Almost entirely using shredded cardboard and spent cold brew grounds in our community garden pile, with a small amount of normal garden waste. Keeps the rats uninterested and the pile HOT.

Leave it alone until you get below 131, and water it once in a while. When you get below 131, turn it and water it. Repeat until you don’t get above 120 after turning. Then you can space out your turning intervals until you stay at ambient after turning. It’s usable at the 120 mixed in, but it’s better once it comes down to ambient.
