A series of bottom, moistened brown, moistened compost or garden soil, moistened green, and moistened activator constitutes the layers in a compost pile.
Specifically, the pile begins with a layer of brush, straw or twigs to facilitate air flow throughout the pile. Secondly, a layer of carbon-rich materials - coffee grounds, dried or fallen foliage, egg shells, sawdust, shredded paper - is added. Thirdly, it is covered with moistened compost or with garden-quality soil. Fourthly, it receives a moistened layer of nitrogen-rich grass or plant clippings and vegetable scraps. Fifthly, it will be covered with moistened blood meal or fresh manure. Layers 2-5 will be repeated in the above-mentioned order and with the above-mentioned materials until the pile reaches its desired height.
