Nah! None of that! Used to have big compost container but once it filled up to 2/3 I couldn't turn it myself. The pitchfork would get stuck in long stringy plants and I'd swear and curse, and my husband wouldn't help... So it wasn't breaking down properly, then I saw a rat in my garden one night... Then, soon after big/loooong snake skin in neighbors yard 2 houses dow... And that was IT for my "natural gardening" Now depending what veggie/fruit scraps I have I either throw them out in the areas that need a little boost, or collect them for few days and go out with a shovel, dig up a hole and put the scraps in, backfilling with soil. It works for me as I know this garden very well, and know where and what needs to go. Now, I still haven't given up the idea of proper composting with earthworms or microorganisms etc... But first would need to get nice shredder/mulcher to chop everything up. Then turning would be easier and proces of breaking down much faster
