Three Types of Heap, see how they work and the compost they make
You can make great compost. See three sizes and types of bins or bays, with and without a roof. The smallest of these three does not get hot, rarely above 40C 104F, but still makes nice compost.

00:46 Different types of compost bays or bins
03:23 Looking at the compost in the plastic bin
05:39 Three Compost bays made of pallets, you can add bindweed!
14:15 Homeacres main composting bays
Heap containers can be cheap and simple to make. In the video I explain some false beliefs to do with sides "needing to be slatted/open". And you can add anything to a heap - I show you the bindweed roots we are adding frequently, from my new land.
The shredder I use is a Bosch electric AX25 TC, max diameter pieces of 45mm https://www.bosch-diy.com/gb/en/p/axt-25-tc-0600803300-v100021315.
Thermometer is from https://thermometer.co.uk/home-thermometers/1231-compost-thermometer.html
We have made many videos about creating and using compost, This most recent one addresses some common misunderstandings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s71f18ila1c.
Here is an earlier Compost Making Q & A video, explaining common misunderstandings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIV4lljN6Aw, and there are three before that.
