The message
from "Dave" contains these words:

An above ground compost bin is okay for warm climates. Since you're in
the
UK, forget it.

Nonsense. Above-ground compost bins are used successfully by
gardeners in every part of the UK. It's so successful in the UK climate,

also very popular and successful in New Zealand with wet cold frosty
winters. If worried, build a cover. Ideally one made from tin with a wooden
frame that can either be hinged or lifted on/off as required. Even bunging a
piece of old carpet on top will be of some benefit.
