My SO chafes at my compost piles and I've tried all methods. Last
year, I inherited several bales of straw which I used to encircle a
large and unruly pile of compost (cold method) and I like it very
much. As the straw breaks down, it is perfect for garden mulch and I
simply replace it with another bale. Bales are extremely inexpensive
and last a long long time. Just be sure to ask for straw without
seeds. I had that experience once many moons ago and vowed never to
take the chance again.
