Our system is by no means efficient since we handle our composting kitchen waste 3 times. It goes in a compost bucket by the sink, to the compost tote in the working section of back driveway, and finally spread it the compost pile and covered with greens and browns already there. Every spring I push the pile to one side or the other with the tractor to screen the finished product into carts to distribute to the beds needing more amendment. As I said not efficient, but the finished product is black gold for the gardens and beds. I do some other things to enhance the composting, like adding feed grade black strap molasses, any manure available, and as much urine as I collect. Our compost is as good or better than anything I've seen in a garden supply.
