Hey- pretty cool. You're quite welcome for me passing on someone else's idea, LOL.
My latest 'hobby' at SAS/goodwill is to check the glass for E O Brody pieces. My MIL calls them collectible although they are not rare. There's a bunch on eBay. She thought they were only green, but there are clear, white and brown pieces. I found a clear vase with wheat sheaf pattern and started three paperwhites in it for an Xmas gift. She liked it very much. The tall one in this picture. I just might be planning an article about this

But how is the compost? I have a 4 by 8 bin with about a foot of really wet compact leafy waste, topped by eight black leaf bags full of moist leaves with some added N source. I turned the bags the other day to try to distribute the moisture. A lot easier and quicker than if I was trying to turn all that, loose. The top third of the bagged was frozen but the bottom wasn't and under the bags I found a few happy worms and yucky soldier fly grubs. Basically, I've tried to set up that and two smaller bins, with a good ratio and I hope the cold organisms will chug along until late Feb when we get more sun
