I have found that by building tall piles and covering them to contain the heat, I get a much better result. When you make your pile as tall as possible, it acts like a chimney. Instead of wasting that heat right out the top, it stays in the pile, albeit further up. While it may only be around 125 at two feet, at four feet, it's in the 160 range. It will cook down much quicker. Also, shredding those leaves will make a huge difference, particularly since they are oak, which contains a lot of lignin. You're essentially trying to compost thin wood chips.

Let the established pile cook about 5 days, then every 3 days, turn that pile inside out. Dry stuff goes on the inside, wet stuff goes on the outside. Keep everything moist, like a wrung out sponge. In about 30 days, you'll have a pile of compost that you can use. 🤗

I love my Geobin. I didn’t think I would when I first set it up, but now I want a second one. So easy and tidy!

If you mow over the leaves first it will break down faster.

Hands down the best compost video on YT. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 🙏 I’ve bought the same geobins as a beginner composter.

Loved the way you showed how it is done. It seems a lot simpler for a novice urban gardener like myself than some of the other KZitem videos that got so technical and use fresh manure 💩 . Thank you!
