Compost

I bought this lovely raised bed thingy for my patio, and I'm delighted with it, it's perfect.  But I haven't planted anything in it.  Right now, I'm just throwing in all the cuttings from any plants, including all the cut-back liriope from 3 months ago.  It's like a pre-compost, I guess.

My actual compost bin has this dark, steamy, unctuous mass sitting at its bottom.  When I went outside a few days ago, it was 7 am and relatively cool, and the sun was not yet on the bin, but the thing was so hot I could barely touch it.  So I think that's going well.

Since it's almost done, I could just take it out and pile it up in some container, and start another batch.  I could pretty much get it finished before winter, right?
