A jolt of coffee to make the garden grow.

Yeah. There are others that can be problematic too.

the key is to keep the pile hot to denature any enzymes.

My observation is hop bines are so thick, they don't break down quickly.
Dog poop retains moisture and therefore it's smell. I let it sit in the yard until it is dry. Only after the sun has baked it do I add it to the composter. Potato peels seems to take forever to break down.
I have a small concrete 'room' that I built and compost in. It's maybe 5'*4'*5'. I use a rototiller to turn everything. Everything minus meat and hop bines goes in the bin.

Dry bines go in the fire pit and the ash goes ON the hop beds. Ash is a good amendment and helps keep away the evil Japanese Beetle.

This is what I had planned as well. Burn baby burn.
