axwax, 
Oops, I completely forgot to document and post about my #compost heap for #WorldSoilDay!
I started the latest one in mid-September with a mix of watermelons, lettuces, wood chips (from olive branches) and almond shells.
I turned the pile once only, so it's not super evenly composted, but it's certainly getting somewhere - I'll try to post an update pic tomorrow.

A couple of weeks later two chickens are helping me mix and shift the compost to another bay.
Here the compost is filled into the left bay, and I'm starting a new one with more melons in the middle one. In the background is a big pile of goat poo (some of which also made it into the compost).
A thermometer in the compost pile reads about 165°F / 73°C.
