That's a great idea! We gave up on the hot compost thing years ago. Just couldn't get the carbon/nitrogen balance right. Now all the kitchen compost just gets tossed in a in a bin. The garden gets compost out of the goat barn. It comes with the perfect brown/green ratio since the goats waste so much of their hay. If we had a tractor we would turn the pile to make it compost faster, but we just let it sit all winter and it's pretty much ready to use by the time we need it.
