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!

If you have enough, turf makes an excellent compost heap.
Build three sides from turf blocks and fill with usual compostable
materials
from the front.


I already have a compost heap ;-( but I am sure 3-4' highs going to be no
problem at this rate!
