[USCC] Vertical composting

[Hemm, Geoff - EnviroWaste Nelson]

An interesting one this. I have never come across anything more than 18
ft. In that instance the material was very coarse and compaction was
evident at the bottom.

Anyone have any thoughts on converting a number of 25ft diameter, 150
ft. tall concrete grain elevators into vertical composters?     Would it
be possible to deal with compaction and air flow problems at depth of
100+  feet?  What's the deepest pile of compost anyone's heard of?
