Composting
Composting is a valuable way to restore nutrients to garden soil. It also enables us to recycle a number of types of kitchen and yard waste.
Many food scraps, especially vegetable matter make great additions to a compost project. Avoid meat and greasy waste as they can cause foul odor and attract unwanted pests.
Grass clippings, fallen leaves and other dead plant material in the yard are also great compost components. Be careful to avoid adding diseased plant material or weeds that could contain seeds.
There are a number of ways to contain your composting matter while it is breaking down into the final product. There are many pre-made bins in various sizes and shapes. It is also possible to construct your own.
As I am able I will add some more specific details on this topic.

Re: Composting
Now that I have someone interested I'll get right to work on that. I have a lot of resources that I can pull information from. I'll try to have something available soon.

Re: Composting
You are quite welcome. I'm also trying to go back and find some information on an alternate type of composting called lasagne gardening. It doesn't rely on heat to produce the decomposition.
