Black-green twin compost bays
Two 900mm compost bays side by side under hinged lids that keep the rain off and the heat in: the front boards drop into guide channels and lift out one at a time, so you turn this year's heap into the next bay and shovel the finished compost out at ground level instead of over the top.
