Well, I'm not selling any books on the subject nor do I think others here are either!

True, its a matter of how fast you want it to cook.
In Dean's location, if you tend it weekly, you'll get compost in months; and if you tend it monthly, you'll get compost about once per year.

To turn the compost - I can be lazy in the early stages and just roll the cage over - later I have to lift the wire over the heap and find a place close buy to shovel the old stuff into the cage again

Wow, that's great. I love the size of it. Dean could make such a thing cheaply with "welded wire fencing" sold in rolls at big-box and agricultural supply stores. Chicken wire is to flimsy for something that rolls.
