6-12 months is about what I achieve per cycle, sometimes even as quick
as 3 months mid summer. I get very tempted by the adverts for the
rotating tumbler thingies which claim to make useable compost in a few
weeks. Anyone had any joy with these contraptions or are they more
suited to tropical climates?

I think the main problem with those is probably capacity. Can see it
speeding things up for smallish amounts because if I summon up the
energy to remix a binful now and then it does compost down faster. But
if I could have a tumbler one big enough to cope with the amount of
stuff I seem to accumulate in my wooden bins I'd never be able to turn
the darn thing!
