But I’d like to reassure people that, while this is optimum, you can still get good compost with less work and attention; it takes more time, and it’s not as finely textured, and it won’t have gotten hot enough to kill seeds and pathogens. Still, if you don’t have time, don’t give up on compost.

Just a couple of tips:

Try adding some CaCO3 to the mix (about a spadeful for a composter that size), make sure it’s well integrated and you should be able to get the temperature up to 75-80 C.

If you have a lot of brown material (includes fallen leaves) adding some ammonium nitrate (34%N) or ammonium sulfate (21%N) will help to prevent a slowing in decomposition rate. If you have an organic one, be sure to crush/powder it for quicker release.
