2020 Garden changes

I've definitely find that limbs take too long. My pit is so large it is not easily managed.

Consider reorganizing your system to a sequential one. Run several small piles of different ages rather than a single overwhelming one. In your current situation, decide what size mound you can work with what is available to you. Then break up your big one into smaller piles. Let some of them sit dry for the time being and focus on one or two. Keep the moisture up and turn them. As those start breaking down and making progress, add another pile to your schedule. Then, going forward, build one small pile at a time with waste, but keep the pile sizes manageable. One huge pile that is ignored does no good.
