We've just gotten a compact ComposTumbler. We'll be using a lot of Russian

small pieces? Or would it speed up the process?

Putting your waste thru a processor will greatly speed decomposition.
It is a lot of bother for such a small amount. I chop corn cobs into
pieces which take some months to break down completely.
