If you're old enough, remember the Indore 2-week composting method?
It works, IF:
You have the right C:N ratio
Enough mass to heat up the interior
Enough areation, i.e. turn frequently
Ingredients well-shredded.

I'm old and lazy, I do the "Pile it up and let it rot" method.
Time to dig into the older of 2 biggish bins and see how it looks.
