    Nice neat job, should save you a lot of money on buying compost. Don't forget to turn it to speed up the process.

    Nice job that GL. Should get quite a bit of air into it too. Helps stop the smell.

    We have just turned our compost bin and yes can start to see a change and starting to look like compost.

    Where we had put some of our joining hedge leylandi they have not composted down.

    Maybe better if we had a shredder.

    But really pleased now.
