I've been thinking on the same lines; one can never have too much
compost and the amount of free material available here is just too good
to ignore :-)(seaweed, fresh sheep poo, spent brewery hops, and my
neighbours' grasscuttings happily donated by local lawn contractor).To
extend the usual compost heaps and mulching, I'm going to try summer
compost pies. These are going to be temporary "instant compost heaps"
made right where I want the finished compost.

An interesting idea - I was wondering about a use for my water butt that
has sprung a leak.
