What to do with compost?

Hi folks, I have two large wooden compost bins, on of which is almost "cooked" and the other is nearly full of fairly fresh stuff.  My problem is I will have a load more stuff to compost over autumn and no more bin space! Should I spread the cooked stuff on my beds are they become empty or is it waste to put it on now instead of spring?  If I could empty that bin I could easily fill it again and leave it over winter.  Or should I bag up the cooked stuff or just make a heap of it somewhere on the plot? Advice welcome!

My compost heap is huge, the size of my shed. I only dig it out every few years, so I will dig holes and bury the remains of my runner beans, sweet corn, etc, when the time comes.

I've spread some good 'cooked' compost where I'm going to put my broad beans over winter.  Then put some more down as a mulch over winter.  I'm happy with that to reduce weeding in the spring - but have read that it might be a bit of a waste as the nutrients will leach out if we have a wet winter and it might be better to bag up in old compost bags and then use it in the spring.  It'll keep the goodness, free up space in the bins and let you use it in the spring. 

Christine is correct. Never confuse compost with fertiliser.

Home made compost is good for improving the soil structure by adding humus, but it does not have a lot in it by way of nutrients.

My 3 bin jobbie is made from pallets certainly is scruffy. It was on the list for this winter to be rebuilt, but that list has to be revised now we will be moving house .
