Re: heating up compost without manure, possible ?!?!?

Sounds like all greens. If you balance it out with browns, it won't run quite as hot and it will be a better environment for earthworms. Earthworms love those browns -- fall leaves, shredded paper, etc.

I've made hot compost for years, it never gets worms in it until it cools off considerably, but it's great compost. Actually I don't care that much about worms in the compost, I want them in the GARDEN near the plants. And when you add compost to the soil, worms will come.

This is really off topic but someone earlier in this thread said a hypercube can actually be built. I don't think that's possible because it requires 90 degree angles in FOUR dimensions. But I reiterate, if it can be built I want one because you can put way more compost in that than a normal cube. :-D
