just put all the shit in a pile somewhere. you dont need to seperate the straw or anything. all you have to do is till the pile every week or two to make sure that the good bacteria in your manuer have enough oxygen and make sure it stays somewhat moist. a quick spray from the hose every couple of days would be good if you live in a really hot and dry area, like arizona. and you'll want to compost it for atleast 2 months

most people do use a black tarp or something else, specially if it rains in your area a lot.But NO you do not need to cover your pile. Also use cow "patties" just means make sure there dry before you use them.
