Cold and Hot Composting
Based on your circumstances, you may get out there and do either cold and hot composting. Cold composting is sometimes called ‘no turn’ composting because of you not having to work your pile. You only include organic material and allow it to do its thing. Cold composting will take a lot longer to rot.

Green vegetables and cuttings will yield more heating in your composting pile. A warm, active compost pile can and definitely will produce good quality compost within three to four months.
A cold pile will take nearly a full year to generate the exact same. If you decide on a hot pile and care to know what temperature is recommended, you can purchase a composting thermometer from the local garden retail outlet. For beginners, this is an useless expense and if your aim is to lower your rubbish and composting isn’t about generating a large amount of compost quickly, then your compost pile will work fine at any temperature.
