I saw that great video too and it got me thinking for our context...

Huw Richards is a lovely chap who does lots of excellent stuff on growing/ gardening on YouTube, well worth a follow.

Huw is talking about hot beds here which I've got in the back of my mind utilising (rather than his timber,) home-made bales around the outside with a reused double glazed window on top all for added insulation. We're at the top of Britain at 58.5°N, so we can be cold and windy.

For hot compost I'd be using the chicken system (ref Sean Dembrosky at Edible Acres) using wood chip / mulch with added greens. The conversion to nitrogen rich chicken poo will help with the heat. The bales can be added to the chicken compost system after use or used as mulch.

It'll be interesting to see how the chicken compost compares. We do have access to organic cow manure but it comes with the cost of fossil fuel and tyre pollution.

Bales something like this, maybe using a wood mold/shaper https://youtu.be/TqUPIP49qCs?si=WtCZlD_O-tGBCMtV
