Yes, pallets are very handy for making compost bins. It is like they were designed to serve this purpose.
What do you mean that I only have sand? Perhaps you are observing the dryness of the top layer? The drought here is very severe and the outside layer of the compost pile has the moisture sucked right out of it. Due to the pressure of the drought, I need to add water frequently. This is year 9 of the drought.
Well sure, but did you want to see a picture of a tarp? I have a layer of dirt over the top to protect the interior layers and on top of that is the tarp--depending on the weather forecast. Sometimes I want the rain to land directly on the compost.
I suppose it is unusual, but I need the extra protection. You would likely be shocked at the intensity of the drought. It not just lack of rain. The air sucks any humidity it can get, including from the trees and shrubs. The dirt sucks moisture from the roots of trees, shrubs and plants. It is sort of frightening.

Try to cover it with a film after adding water to this pile. It will restrain the evaporation of water.

Why do you laugh?
Well, you're just doing everything right. But I didn't understand it at first.
But I don't add soil to the hopper.
