Yes. Heat comes with size, so a manufactured compost bin won’t give you the hot temperatures of a huge open pile. 120F is the temp I usually get my bin to.

Hot enough for what? To kill weeds, no. To make decent compost? Yes

Pee on it.

Get a couple rabbits. Not only will they exponentially add to your volume, but you’ll have some hella lovely compost. I’ve got two permanent residents and three fosters. I’m up to my eyeballs in extra litter (paper), hay, and vegetable trash, but my yard has never looked more magnificent.

Get a bag of spent coffee grounds from local shops, dump in, and tumble to mix thoroughly. Repeat until you see temps 160+.
