Insulated hot compost bins

Hot compost bins are similar to hot compost heaps, but they are designed to retain heat and moisture more effectively. This makes them a great option for those who live in colder climates or who want to speed up the composting process.
What you can compost with this method
Like hot compost heaps, insulated hot compost bins can handle a wide variety of waste, including fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, tea bags, eggshells, grass clippings, leaves, and small branches.
You can also add meat and dairy, but be sure to balance them with plenty of carbon-rich material like shredded newspaper and cardboard or dry leaves.
