I’ve given up on thinking I can pull together a decent amount of compost unless I’ve been adding to it over the course of a whole year. Even after collecting all of last year, I didn’t have enough to cover my 600 square feet. No matter how much you think you have when it hasn’t decomposed, it will shrink down to barely anything when it’s time to use it!
It does not go far. Maybe focus on what you can make and use it in a VERY small area to improve that soil. That small area should require less compost the next year and you can expand your area. OR maybe just go with composting in place. Put the stuff you would normally compost directly on top of the soil around the plants.

I'm glad the greens worked. Slimy anaerobic decomposition is no good
It worked well and I think I will turn it again this week. Still has way too much brown stuff.
