Finally got my compost pile to heat up properly

It took a few tries to get the green and brown mix right. Now I have rich compost for my garden beds.

Read that 140 degrees means it's working right.

Faith, you said you read that 140 degrees means it's working right. But working right for what exact task? If it's for sterilizing soil, that temperature might be needed to kill off weed seeds or harmful bacteria. But for general garden dirt, that seems unnecessarily hot. Where did you find that information? What specific process or equipment are they talking about?

140 seems like overkill for dirt.
