Compost heap is a metre square and 1.2 metres high.
Too wet.
Should I repeatedly turn it?
Or what?

Just push your fork in the sides and loosen it a bit and then cover to
keep
off any more rain (not wet here?). Is it on concrete or something
impervious
to get so wet? If so try to raise it up to allow drainage.
The best and fastest compost heap we ever had was one surrounded and
covered
with builders polystyrene sheets so the warmth was kept in, material was
sometimes reduced to ash in the middle it got so hot if I forgot to water
it
but it killed any weed seeds. Two loads of compost a year out of that one.

Can I use a spare plastic wheelie bin to make compost?
