Winter composting?

just an idea-which should have been put into place 2 months ago.

the little greenhouse has only some spinach and herbs in it. the bottles filled with water and covered with black plastic-are frozen! but the plants seem ok.

the kitchen scraps composter is absolutely full and won;t start its process back up until after several warmer days( April?). soo...

I took a large black pot, cut the bottom out and put it on bare ground in the greenhouse. I added a couple of inches of straw and dirt from that area. now, the dogs can;t get to it-i can add kitchen garbage...and maybe we'll get compost. ( if not, then I'll add it to the big pile and turn it in, in April or so.)

if it works, and it starts to heat up, that can only be good news for our winter garden efforts!
