It's not really running hot enough (about 35 degrees at the top, but down at the bottom here it's basically normal compost temps).
That's about 5 months or so I guess? We just chuck normal compost stuff in and I've sorta given up on adding wood chip but it gets a good mix of paper, garden clippings and kitchen stuff. I avoid meat and bones because we don't throw much of that away and I don't want to attract animals.
No fox trouble that I've seen but there are what I think are cat claw marks on top. I've taken to putting a piece of wire mesh on top to discourage that which seems to be working.
I'm only half interested in the hotbin aspect of it but mostly I just wanted something that didn't take up much space and a regular heap that size would lose too much heat to work I think.

Nice.
How long has that taken to fill? And do you out the worms in there yourself, and if so why don't they cook?
