Success!! I made my pallet compost bins (minus one pallet). The one in the middle should slide out to allow us to transfer compost from side one to side two. Made from heat-treated pallets collected for free, some pieces of wood from a disintegrating picnic table the last owners left, some buckthorn sticks, and a handful of screws from a box of 500 I bought several years ago, knowing I'd eventually find uses for them.
Here's the bin a few hours later filled with apple leaves, some failed mushroom buckets, and a little fertilizer because I don't have much green to put in it.
Waiting to go get the motherload of leaves from my friend across town.
Does anyone know how well fertilizer works to make a hot pile?

@MCDuncanLab @laurenheywood. Nettles and water make a hot compost tea if you have access to free range nettles. It’s a great new compost site.
It’s fall nettles are dead.
@MCDuncanLab. Our rogue nettles are still growing in southern Minnesota. They are the only green thing. We have an outside bucket of November nettle brew. It’s working because it smells.
I’ll go check there’s a small patch of them near our well maybe they’re still kicking.
