Here is my compost heaps. The "working" pile is the one I add kitchen scraps in. I make sure it has adequate moisture and turn it every now and then by opening it up, dragging the stuff out, and putting it back in. The other larger one is more of a holding bin for the yard waste I score driving though the neighborhood.


Here is the working pile. It's just hardware cloth with a plastic cover to keep in moisture. It was 130 degrees last week when I tested it!
