I have a large pile going from the fall and summer yard waste, but I have
to
many varmints around to add kitchen waste to the pile.

Does anyone have an efficient, varmint proof system to compost kitchen
wastes in? I'm thinking some thing in the range of 25 to 50 gallons, that
tumbles easily.

It might also make a difference to know I'm located in Northern WI.

have you considered making liquid compost. A large barrell, I use 200L, and
a hessian sack stuffed with organics. As they break down the water turns
into a compost tea which I can draw off as I need it. It may take some time
for an initial batch of waste to break down but may suit your needs
depending on how much you throw out. Periodically you can throw the spent
organic matter at the bottom on the sack on your dry compost where it should
not be disturbed by animals.
