hey! I've been thinking about/working with compost a lot lately. so i think i can help. In fact, I have a little composting guide taped up in the kitchen. It says you can compost 2 main kinds of things: greens (high in nitrogen) and browns ( high in carbon). greens are fruit/veggie scraps, coffee/tea bags, weeds, etc. Browns are fall leaves, egge shells, dried flowers, shredded newspaper, etc. You should have a balance. You can compost outside in a pile or in the kitchen (we have a bucket that we empty outside). With worm composting, you can stick a bunch of red wriggler worms in a big tupperware or something along with newspaper and food scraps, they'll eat ervything fast and shit out pure compost. Make sure they have ventillation though. With the pile, it should heat up inside and get turned often, and also you should water it sometimes. the flyer has a url listed -- nyccompost.org. im sure it has lots of info.

I was thinking about getting one of those rotating compost drums like they show on TV. I'll get back to y'all on how it works out- does anyone have any experience with these?
