Best compost heap designs???

infowarrior · « **on:** January 23, 2007, 19:35 »

I've just brought a few pallets home from work and was gonna maybe at the weekend start making a frame for my compost heap. Ive read somewhere about E shaped framed compost heaps. What's the best to use, and more importantly does it make any difference??

yes it does . E shaped ones are great ,what you doisd fill the first one leave it 6 mths and then turn it over into the 2nd fill the first one again and use the compost from the 2nd ....rolling compost production

Why waste all that effort humping pallets around when the builders sandbags are 20 times more efficient and easy to carry.

Some people like hard work.
