to much 'browns' in compost heap

[maryn]

Hello folks, spend yesterday afternoon turning the compost heaps; one of them perfectly rotting material, not quite there yet but will surely rot down to a nice friable compost (as usual). The other heap however was dry and 'twiggy', some small pockets of nice rot, but generally not an awful lot happening. Plan now to get a couple of bags of hot rotting horse manure to heat things up a bit and adding buckets of pee, (?diluted 1:5 to 1:10, is that correct?) any other suggestions, since grass clippings and other soft green stuff is still somewhat scarce? Thanks folks, regards, Maryn

Shredded paper helps and you can also add "night water" to everything which will accelerate the composting.

Hello Maryn, not sure on the dilution rate of the pee, but i don't think it would matter that much.
If you are putting a lot of dry stuff in the compost just water each level, it soon sarts working.
