Sorry for not being clearer. I was not accusing anyone on the board. The point I was trying to make was composting is pretty simple stuff. There are all kinds of ways to complicate it, some yielding interesting results, some not. But if one just wants to do simple trouble free composting, as it appeared the poster wanted to do, it could be just that, simple and trouble free.
Another simple method I didn't mention was pit composting. Dig a hole, throw some stuff in, and cover the hole back. Nature will do the rest. I use this method in my veggie beds. I have 4 beds, 4' x 8' each. I rest one each year in rotation. During rest year, I just dig holes all around in the bed and bury organic matter here and there. A couple of months before I put it back in service I till it up nice and good with my little Mantis tiller, and then repeat before planting.
I also do pit composting around trees when I want to deal with a small bit of stuff like kitchen waste. Just dig a hole in the dripline of one of my trees, bury and cover.
