        The thing about water is that 1) it can cool the pile down, stopping
the reaction. 2) it can wash nutrients out of the pile into the ground.
The pile should remain moist without getting "too much" water, "too
much" varies according to conditions.

        If you want a fast compost, manure is worth the effort.
