I didn't think about temperature affect compost. Ja but that's right, bread dough rise in the right temperature ;) Compost is one of the things I want to try in the future. I feel strange these days to buy soil for gardening ...

I wonder I can use basement for compost not sure it's warm enough though.

One city in a forest in Japan has community compost and people can get soil (fertilizer?) from there for their field. It would be perfect :)
