Rather than wade through thousands of search results from google, can
somone point me to a composting site? cheap is good, simple is better,
self-maintaining is best and one that takes the garbage from the
kitchen ou tto the compost site would be miraculous (hey, i can wish,
can't i?)

Your county, in an effort to reduce household kitchen trash and yard
greenwaste, may offer a half price deal on a 3x3x3 foot compost bin, as did
ours. Comes with a nice brochure on compost basics. I use mine mainly for
kitchen waste, and interleave layers of brown dry waste, like fallen pine
needles. A few years ago I added red wiggler worms to the mix, which
hastens decomposition. The worm population exploded, and the pile is in
perfect balance now. Takes over two years to fill the bin, before I have to
distribute some of the product in the garden.
