If you dig it in turf slabs and stack it, it rots down to a lovely loam
compost which you can use anywhere

How long does this usually take? I need to know how to work out how much
storeage space I need to give this.

Say, 6 months. But you can stack it 3-4' high, or more if you are
creating a lot!
