So you do not turn your piles every so often?
Nope. I just tip them over, stir them around, then sift it through a medium mesh screen into the wheel barrow and it goes out to the garden, or into pots and planters by the back door for herbs or flowers. Black Gold.
Any “chunks” go back into the new pile as a starter, because sometimes leaves don’t break all the way down, or there’s a stray potato or avocado pit in there.
It’s like making Amish Friendship Bread, LOL!
