Nah, I just pile everything in to a wire mesh frame until its over full,
leave it until it drops to about half full, spread it on the garden.
Works
for me see;

This one is about 8 ft square and has now been filled way over the top of
the frame, and is now well on its way back down again all by itself. The
other one is about quarter full, should take another 18 months to
completely
fill it. the only other thing I do is cover the full one with and old
bit
of carpet. I lifted a corner last weekend and there were loads of little
red
worms working away under it.
Yea I know, I even take pictures of the compost heap, if you rummage
around
you will even find the second one half empty.

Would adding lime work to hasten the decomposition?
I have absolutely no idea.

I'll second the alfalfa pellet concept! I've had pet bunnies. I know
how hot that waste gets with spilled feed in it.
