I would just make a really big pile and turn it as often as possible. Hubby does this for me with his garden tractor that has a bucket and it really speeds up the composting process. I do not worry about layering or feeding worms. I just mix it all together. I don't really see a lot of worms in the compost but the garden is loaded with them and they find their own food since I add lots of organic matter.
Manure will also help speed the composting process. I have a small chicken coop with 6 hens but in your case with that volume, I would try to find some horse manure. It REALLY heats up a pile and breaks it down.
