Default Compost bin siting

We are thinking of getting a compost bin for grass clippings veg
peelings etc. Does the bin have to be sited in direct sunlight or can it
be in a shetered from the wind but no direct sunlight position? We can
put it at the bottom of the garden which can be warmer, but gets more
wind, or we can put it in a gap between us and next door which is pretty
wind proof, but gets no direct sunlight.


Put it where it is most convenient or least ugly.

Yes - sun does help it run faster, but we don't get hot days all year
(awful May this one is!) - so I wouldn't give it priority unless the
matter of siting has several equal options.

I don't think the wind will make any difference.
