Been working on this for about 6 weeks. Layered greens (lawn and other wild plants) and chipped willow from late spring with lots of leaf content. 4-ish meters base diameter, 1.5m or so high. Yes, I have peed on it. No, there's no plan to turn it every 2 days. Or ever, actually. Got a fair bit of chips left so it will get fed more before winter. Don't have a compost thermometer, but it's plenty hot inside. It even steamed without digging in at some point so I bet it was around boiling hot for a while. Oh, and in the background you can see the piles that did not fit my materials any more. Will shift the darker one soon, once I build some kind of screen frame. And of course there's a mandatory box for the kitchen waste for the winter time.
