Good morning all,
I've been away from the keyboard for a few months, work is hectic at the moment. Firstly I hope you all had a great Christmas and you have a happy new year.
I've recently listened to an episode of "the veg grower podcast" where Richard speaks with the manufactures of the hot bin composter. I was surprised to learn that he hot bin is simply an insulated bin and not electrically heated.
This got me thinking...how easy and beneficial would it be to insulated my DIY pallet compost bins? i have some of those cheap foil blankets, and polystyrene is easy enough to get hold of. I know it wont be as efficient as a hot bin as they are typically wheelie bin sized, but could it help the composting process?
I fell a bit silly asking this as I am the health and safety coordinator for a waste treatment facility that produces compost as a by-product, but our composting windrows are about 100m long and we have 30 of them so not quite the same...I dont think.
Anyway, any advice anyone can offer would be great, thank you.
