The ongoing compost project so far has 3 layers of food compost alternating with layers of compost/dirt and grass clippings. I topped the whole pile off with some oak leaves from our front yard. It doesn't look like a very big pile, because it isn't yet. Plus, every time it rains, it seems to be shrinking up quite a bit. So I still have one bin that is in the filling stage, and one completely empty bin for rotating the pile when I come to that stage. I realize that some sources say that oak leaves are a very slow to compost. I wanted to test the waters in Oregon's spring rainy season.
