Compost bin on new patch with images

I wouldn't see any real issues with using it, once it's mixed in structurally and dried out a little.

However, if you're not sure about whether it might have had the aminopyralid herbicide weedkiller in, then plant a few bean seeds in it and let them grow before applying it to the garden.  If the beans grow healthily without distorted foliage then it's fine.  Better to delay using it than put it on the ground and then have contamination issues.

How big is it and is it on your plot and only for your use ? Personally I would put in a divider and have 2 smaller bins and I would have a top on it. If its slimly the chances are its just grass cuttings, You could if you divide the bin turn it and add cardboard / paper (shredded is better) and more brown material and maybe a few layers of straw / dried grass and that will help get air into it and therefore heat. Without a top and by top it could even be a tarp you will struggle to get any descent material to use as it will always be too wet.

We have 3 1m boxes and can make descent usable compost in 8 /9 months no problem but we control the heat and moisture. If you squeeze a hand full there should be no more then 2 drops of moisture drip out and if you rub thru your hands it should crumble.

Here is a pic of some i turned last week that is 5 months old. Second photo is this months new bin
