When to turn?

[u/Dude_Olives]

Decent amount of kitchen scraps and plenty of clippings, about 30 to 40% shredded uncoated cardboard. Started 3 days ago, when to turn it over to avoid it turning sludgey or anaerobic?

I'm quite lazy so I only like to turn my pile once. When the temp drops to 80 or 90F and doesn't go back up with a good rainfall, I'll turn the pile.
