No pics - it’s just a square raised bed that I enclosed with 4’ plastic mesh on 3 sides & the 4th side is recycled fence boards stacked in slots so I can add boards one at a time as leaves go in. Boards are removed when it’s time to spread. I put in a layer of leaves (12-18”), wet them a bit & then use grass clippings for my green material. No flies. I can’t turn it enough to keep it going as a hot pile so it eventually goes cold. The first year I raked the leaves - this year we used a mower with a large bagger so the leaves are chopped smaller & should break down faster. I’m really pleased with the results.
