I just started
gardening last fall. I made a couple
compost bins with lightweight fencing wire. 3 feet tall and 3 feet diameter -- tied together with plastic zip ties. They've been working pretty well. I just lift them up over the pile and relocate and shovel into it from the exposed pile.
I set them both up underneath a tree and they don't get much sun at all during the day.
Would it be better for me to move them both across the
yard so they get direct sun most of the day? Would they compost much faster? If I did this, I guess I'd have to
water more often? How often would I have to water the bins in say 80-95F degree weather? Turn them a couple times per week and only water them in layers at that time?
