Homesteader has a great thread about making native organisms, but really and honestly what your doing is not thermophelic compost which is the method most used, thermo meaning heat the heat breaks down organic matter and theres a whole science about temps, turning and watering at set temps. You need percentages of brown and green inputs to compost properly not to mention a large pile. its goes on and on like that when your really doing that stuff. Vermipost is making compost using worms, thats the easiest and most accesable method of most folk in my opinion, straight forward, make tubs or a burm put worms and feed scraps into the bedding harvest later on down the line.
What your doing may break down a lil bit or turn into nice nutrient rich black stuff but is not really compost.
Why pallets in the woods with random gathered stuff? Compost can go down on your counter with Bokashi only 20 bucks on inoc for it!
Whats your mission, whats the goal?
Manure by the truck load is chap and easily sourced locally, you pile it up and it gets hot and breaks down, with a bit of turning and water in a few months its beaut!!!
worms is a 20 purchase and some newspaper soil and food scrap away
You need to look up Vermi, Thermo, and Bokashi and decide what fits your goal.
What ever you do order up some Effective Microbes or EM and give it a healthy dose!
remember, proper planning and preparation prevents piss poor performance producing a plethora of purple pounds of pot!!!!
