First of all... composting is not a free ride. It takes quite a bit of work. Nitrogen reacts with carbon and heats up. You also need some water and air. If you can get the pile to 120deg for three days, you have an amazing pile. Some people aerate their static pile with perforated pvc. I might turn my pile. I got this top to bottom recipe from an old book, let me know if you have any other tips:
straw
soil
lime
chicken manure
grass (freshly cut versus couple weeks old?)
chicken manure
wood ash
