@spenbroc No till growers has a good explainer of the different types of compost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpZChqz9iiI They have a lot of good information.
How to make it does depend what you want your compost to do and what you’re able to do within your own set up. We all have different constraints but there’s a method to fit anyone.
#JohnsonSu bioreactors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxUGk161Ly8 My bioreactors are a mini version to this.
I love making compost on my allotment. This will be good to go next year. I’ll keep filling the leaf bin for leaf mould for the year after. I’ve also got a pile of steadily increasing bokashi compost and a worm bin in the shed producing vermicast.

@nicole2g @compost My two mini #JohnsonSu #Bioreactors of #Compost built and filled in August. The downpipes (removed after 24 hrs) create ventilating air holes in the compost pile.
After initially heating up between 55-65°C for several days, to kill weed seeds and pathogens, worms were added in September as soon as the pile temperature fell below 25°C.
They are regularly watered to maintain the moisture level. They will take 12 months to produce a fungal, biologically rich compost. 🤞
