First...
Start your compost pile on bare earth
Lay twigs or straw first, a few inches deep
Add compost materials in layers, alternating moist and dry
Add manure or any nitrogen source to activate the compost pile and speed up the process
Keep compost moist
...then
Cover compost with wood, plastic or carpet scraps
Give the pile a weekly turn with a pitchfork or shovel
Add new materials by mixing them with the pile
Keep a working balance between carbon-rich matter and nitrogen/protein-rich matter
A good compost pile is not smelly, but exude a fresh, wonderful smell
