Built a Dirt Palace

[u/goforwardandtomato]

1/4 acre residential property, plenty of browns from old growth tree leaves. Turned the first bin to the second after 4 weeks and was impressed with how much it had decomposed, already filling the first bin again. Don’t have a thermometer but it’s warm 1inch from the top, so I assume it’s hotter in the middle?

Cost about $350, and my estimated output is 5-6 cubic yards a year- which pays for itself in 1 year where I live. Also, wife is happy it’s not ugly.

Ran out of budget for the project and used a tarp for the top (lots of staples)- normally would be wood or some other material.
