I know that with the right conditions, compost can get very hot at the centre of the pile, but I've never managed to achieve this. I live in southern Ontario, where the temperature rarely gets above zero between January and March, and regularly goes below -20, but I'd like to keep my compost 'composting' over the winter, rather than freezing. Is there any way to do it? Is it just getting the right mix of 'green' and 'brown' materials, or is there more to it than that?
