Default Do you compost?

Tried it in vain. Composting would be great here, if it were allowed to
work as advertised. Ants are the problem. Any kitchen leftovers with
vegetable or animal protein is promptly attacked and drug off. Includes
immediate burial stuff. The ants won't go away, tried Amdro etc. They keep
coming back like Michael Myers. No, not building/buying an elevated compost
bin.

Profound is we're here due to a chance arrangement
of chemicals in the ocean billions of years ago.
More profound is we made it to the top of the food
chain per our reasoning abilities.
Most profound is the denial of why we may
be on the way out.

We recently moved out in the country. Nothing to do but we had to make a
compost pile. I admit, it's a handy place for garbage we would usually
put
in the can for a week. Yech!

Does it work? How much work is it? How often are you supposed to turn
it?
Do you keep it wet? Do you get enough compost to justify the work?

TIA
