In case you’re wondering whether a compost pile can be built solo, here’s a timelapse showing part of the process. Katja first assembled two separate piles, each made up of 40 buckets. Later, she combined them into one large pile to increase the thermal mass. This helped protect the compost against cold nighttime temperatures (around 10 °C), while also reducing moisture and heat loss. As a result, she was able to reach higher internal temperatures—up to 70 °C—which was an excellent outcome. #soi

Cold composting and hot composting both turn organic waste into soil-building compost, but they work very differently. Cold composting is a slow, low-effort process where kitchen scraps and garden waste are added over time as they become available. The pile gradually breaks down through natural microbial activity, often taking many months. While slower, it still produces usable compost — especially at the base, where older material has had time to fully decompose and can be harvested once ready.
