I cleared my garden and put it all into my compost pile. Now my compost is too large to effectively turn. I've mostly been ignoring the pile, but are there things I should be doing to get the best results that I can?

I'm not sure. If I had that sitation, I'd soak down the pile, and then soak newspapers and spread then over the pile. I'd then lay some black plastic bags over top of that. You coud put bricks or something down to hold the bags in place.

Here's a very effective homemade compost bin. Instead of turning in situ, you move the top frame over, then shovel compost into it, then move another frame and keep transferring until the whole pile is inverted.
