Nice compilation!! My garden is not big. I have 3 trees in the yard. I use some green leaves also for composting. I have made two small pits, one 'active' and one 'closed'. When the latter is fully broken down - it will take about 2-3 months depending on climate, I remove them into a plastic bag for using a few days later. So this pit becomes empty. The pit is about 15 inches L,B and H. When the former is full, I transfer them into the empty pit and by doing so, rotation happens. I use this pit for fresh additions. I'm doing this way since two years. I also add coffee and tea wastes into it along with some dry leaves, green leaves and vegetable/fruit wastes. I'm enjoying it, so do the plants. I'm seeing some improved results since I started composting - no wonder!! What I compost is just about enough for my requirement. Sometimes I buy 'vermicompost'. I learnt some new things in that article, thanks.
