Enclosures can be as complicated as you want but don't need to be. I use bales of straw as an enclosure. Easy to move when turning the pile and easily added to as the pile grows.

Also the amount of effort involved varies greatly. A hot pile ( > 130 deg) will produce compose more quickly but requires turning the contents periodically. Cold composting (build the pile and leave it alone) works just as well - just takes much longer.

A really important point is the C:N ratio - carbon (browns) to nitrogen (greens) typically 3:1. Most folks are surprised at the amount of browns required to properly mix the pile. Chicken manure is super high in nitrogen and needs a good amount of carbon. I typically use @ 1-1/2 qt of wood shavings per 5 gal bucket of chicken manure mixed with the bedding. Kitchen wastes as less nitrogen intense and need less carbon. The very best tool to assess the mix is your nose. Piles that have too much nitrogen smell of ammonia. The right mix smells earthy.

Water also needed. The proper moisture is about the same as a damp sponge. Gripping a handful of the mix should be moist but not have visible water coming out.

A useful tool is a compost thermometer to monitor the temp of the pile. Not expensive and not absolutely necessary. More useful in a hot compost situation. Heat is a by-product of bacterial activity. Right after turning in the winter my pile reads about 40-50 deg. After a few days, readings of 140 deg are normal. Even causes the snow to melt off the pile!

Happy composting!
