The several videos I've watched and things I've read all suggest sunny areas. However, the sunnier, the more it will tend to dry up (i.e. the more often you will need to add water). I'm going to go with sunny myself - I'd rather have to water a bit more than wait twice as long! Remember, the core temperature needs to reach about 150°F, so a shady area which is 10° cooler will be that much more difficult to reach the needed temp.

How to make a compost bin.

Step one: make four walls out of anything.

Step two: throw a bunch of crap in it.

Step three: profit

Just built a 3 stage compost bin system out of used pallets. My life is much more simpler now.  No need to bag leaves every fall and take them to the city drop off. Just rake them onto a large tarp then drag straight to the compost bins and dump them there. All our kitchen waste goes straight to the compost bin instead of stinking up our trash can. Can't believe everyone does not make one of these.
