Noob question, but what's the point of alternating between layers of greens and browns if you're supposed to mix it all afterwards?
It's really just that it 1. makes it easy to judge that you have a good ratio, and 2. gives you a start to intermixing them. You really shouldn't leave it in layers, except maybe to have some dry stuff on top to help keep it from drying out. Mix as thoroughly as is reasonable.
