I'm no Percy Thrower, but that looks more like a wisteria than a lilac.

I'll let the wife see it Mike. Interestingly she does seem to layer the compost heap (it's hers!) and turns it, especially this time of year. Since she took it over we have had better compost - not as fast as 18 days though!

Thanks for that. :)

Has anyone tried this?

Seems like a bit of effort, but big advantage in getting rapid results.

Aha! Listened to Gardeners Question Time yesterday, so blame Bob Flowerdew if I'm wrong....

Bob said that you can put pretty much anything on your compost heap as long as your compost heap heats up properly and really does compost it.
