It isn't slimy,and the only non-vegetable matter we've added were some
(well rinsed) eggshells. I'll start by moving the thing into the sun
and put grass clippings in if I can find some clean ones. We used
alot of grass clippings in our compost last year and they must have
had weeds because a lot of weeds turned up in our tomato beds this
year. I've heard that if I can get it hot enough it will sterilize
the seeds...

Read more carefully. You need ***A MIX*** of green (like grass clippings,
lettuce discards, corn husks) and brown (like dried leaves). Obviously, it
may be hard to find dried leaves at this time of year. So, keep the layers
of grass clippings thin, and intersperse with whatever you can find.
