The bins are simply ex-dustbins, upended or well-holed. I put in a good
variety of materials, mix them (but not *that* often) and add water only
rarely if the contents seem dry. They are cold heaps, although they get
quite hot in summer, so they've taken about 9 months to produce this really
splendid stuff.
I just need some rain now, so I can spread it as mulch. Might just as well
let the worms finish the job :~)
