Does anyone actually composts their compost able nappies?

We use the naty nappies at night and reusables during the day. Recently we got an allotment and I wonder if we could compost the wet nappies there?

you can, but probably not many.

my reference is from chicken poo, mainly.
we had a compost bin just for chicken poo, and after 18 months it was full, but didn't rot down properly for at least 2 years.

point being, that unless you're supplementing the compost bin with loads and loads of green stuff - grass, green veges etc, it will take far too long to compost down for a normal person.

maybe if you kept it properly wet and used nitrogen additives?
