It will be really interesting to see what temps you get with polystyrene insulation. That is part of how Hotbin works - with poly insulation all around and above. Do make sure your bin is not too high to be able to turn easily.
The front is going to be a varnished offcut of ply with insulation, so the entire side will be removable, and turnovers will be into the dalek if needed.
Not sure about the top yet.
“Rivers know this ... we will get there in the end.”
The concrete will hold a good bit of heat. The thing is - it all breaks down eventually. Where you're located, and where the bin's located, are big factors in the speed, that's all. To get mine breaking down more quickly, bins would have to be in the hottest part of the garden, which isn't happening, as I'd rather look at plants Patience is what's needed more than anything.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Reading about Hotbins, I get the impression that they make quite a chunk of their business from consumables like inkjet printer manufacturers and Rolls Royce Aeroengines. And it seems to involve some half done compost, which I can get from the dalek, some activator (wee on it?), and browns to help internal air circulation (boogie on down shred those files].
We shall see.

Could you say more about this? I didn't get it.
What I was getting at is that the really lucrative bit of selling aircraft engines is maintenance and spare parts over the next 30 years, rather than selling the engine itself. Especially as aircraft and flying are very tightly regulated to make them so safe.
I think RR make more from maintenance and after sales services than they do from sales.
It’s the thing that gives RR Aero Engines a stable long term business model.

I think Ferdinand 2000 is talking about the consumables, I.e. £24.00 for bag of bulking agent which is part composted wood.
