| Turning our 2nd compost heap, once again: an arrangement of sticks and branches at the bottom for aeration and drainage, then alternating layers of dry grass/straw, food scraps from the kitchen, cow dung, brown, dried leaves from garden as well as green leaves and other green material from the garden e.g. "weeds" as well as prunings from plants and flowers grown right there in the garden for their composting properties e.g. borage, chickweed and comfrey... |
 |
| ...remembering the hose-, conduit- or other found pipe placed to stick out of the heap to release hot air... |
 |
| ...and building the heap up in a definite shape at least one metre high by one meter wide to ensure that the organisms and organic processes that will break down this material have adequate space and bulk to do their thing... Cover it all up with a large piece of plastic, allowing the 'chimney' to stick out |
