Default Accelerate the compost

One man should be enough - in a compost sense I mean. Apply daily
(just
watch the double-entendres in that one!).



There doesn't seem to be an upper limit. Best and sweetest compost I ever
made was in a mini-heap in a 2ft x 2ft x 2ft hole which took about half
the total daily output of two people


The problem I have with depositing it directly on the heap is that my garden
is overlooked by a couple of neighbours!

Well, we didn't deposit directly. We used a bucket.

Why did you bother with a bucket, it is possible to put it on directly!

It is, but since the house was half way up the castle mound, the garden
was rather visible from quite a long way. And there was not way i was
going to deliver the night time contributions directly, certainly not in
winter!

I might be a bit reluctant to that at this time of year as well!
