It’s never a bad time to build a compost bin… if you have the space and materials, a system like this will allow you to process essentially any amount of material all year round.
This setup is actually done really nicely… you don’t need the bottom pallets for a pile to work, and after doing this myself with my pile, I don’t think I’ll do it going forward. It’s just fine digging a concave hole that would collect any excess leachate (in addition to starting your pile with a good six inches of shredded brown materials, acting as a sponge).
Cover your ears around 5 minutes… you can absolutely add ANY food. Just be sure whenever you add your food scraps, completely cover them with ample brown materials.
