It takes quite a while- like a month or so - to revert to full veg.
What do you have for drainage in that bucket? 5 gallon pails need to have a lot of holes, fairly large ones, not onlt in the bottom but also the sides- or if you don't want to do the sides, actually have the whole bucket up on some blocks so it is free-draining. But I ALWAYS punch side drains too with a 1/2" spade bit. Prevents root rot and gives the amount of oxygen flow that a living compost really needs to be beneficial.
