Started the change over process earlier today because I was concerned about the temperature. At 10:40 am the sukumo was 115 and the air temperature in the shop was 72.5.
It's possible we didn't have enough straw in there. The straw I pulled out was damp again, so again I chose to not add water. The sukumo was in bigger chunks than it was the last time - maybe from being weighted down. The big clumps were much easier to break up than the smaller chunks, so I think it is getting more dirt like rather than mud like.
The process was much quicker today.
I packed a bunch more straw in so the barrel was overflowing, and then I piled 2 of my heavy hypertufa pots on top of it.
As I closed it up at 11:15 am, the temperature was up to 87.4.
