I do a lot of composting at the urban thicket, about a 4 liter ice cream tub every 2 or 3 days. Therefore i research different ideas of composting. One thing i was reading recently was about an organic farm that does hot composting. The theory the composter had was that the corrugated cardboard allowed for oxygen to remain in the pile. Also i was thinking that if you allow the corrugated cardboard to be at the the sides of the compost it allows air flow into the pile, ultimately speeding up the process.

Im going to be making vermiculture shake boxes over the next week to put in the deep shade area of the balcony which sits empty and un-used all year.
