Composting
http://www.durgan.org/URL/?Compost 31 July 2008 Composting. This is how I handle my spent vegetation. Kitchen slops are not utilized.
Reality check about composting. There is too much nonsense written about composting. Mostly it has to do with selling pretty, useless containers.
Chop the vegetation into small pieces with a machete, or if you have a large amount put the vegetation through a chipper/shredder. Throw the mess in a pile and forget it, until it ferments. I might fork the pile over once or twice, but I never touch a working, (fermenting) pile.
From my about 2000 square feet of vegetation, I only get about 5 cubic yards of compost per year. This is practically nothing in the big picture.

yup, lotsa blather about composting.
i have a pile been sitting 17 years, and i just got around to adding two more "bins" to make turning easier.
the 17 year old pile has a few pickup truck loads of dirt under last two seasons yard wastes and is hella lots of work to turn over. i use my tiller when i can get it running and my back holds up.
you have a great looking garden yard thanks for sharing
