That's not so bad, I agree that the bags will heat up quickly. When you add to the compost pile if you cover with dry material ie: leaves, twigs, dry grass then some limestone you'll get a good pile going. You may already know that good compost heats up to about 165 degrees F. I have about an acre garden with fruits, veg., herbs as wellas raising chickens and turkeys. In the general off topic threads I have a thread going called "The new coop" which is just getting finished. There are pictures of some of the garden and the birds as well. Do they allow poultry to be raised in the village ?
