Oops....my bad....my DH just informed me that the pile in the pic took about 5 to 6 weeks. He says at 2 to 3 weeks it IS composted but is very coarse. He likes it finer, so does it longer.

For the green part (nitrogen) he uses grass clippings and coffee grounds we pick up at Starbucks.
For the brown part (carbon) he uses sawdust from a neighbor who has a woodshop.
All free stuff.

Our fruit and veggie scraps go to the deer we made friends with.
