Hello,i live on the Costa del Sol in Spain where in July and August temperatures can reach 40c. As our soil is mostly rock i would like to make a raised vegetable bed and also start a compost heap. My questions are these 1)i am terrified that a compost heap here could catch fire(fire being our biggest fear here) is this possible?2)i intend to use concrete bricks as a framework but read that it causes a change in ph levels,could you please explain this better?3)i am a relatively new to vegetable growing so could you please tell me what kitchen refuse is good for a compost heap? Thank you for any help.
