Does anyone have a URL for a website that has info on home composting?

There are uk.rec.gardening FAQs on it.

I have been composting my own stuff since I mved into my new house last
July

Depending on how you do it, that isn't long.

There was a LOT of biomass to be dumped and since then there has been all
sorts a=of kitchen scraps in there aswell....But it simply isn;t breaking
down....I would have thought that by now I woudl have something I could use
on the garden....But none of it is...

Well, in a traditional heap, that could be rather hasty - mine takes
c. 18 months. In what way has it not composted? That could help
identify the cause.

I really think that it hasn't worked right because I have done something
wrong...
I didn't have any heat in it over the winter either....

Not usually critical, especially in warm winters like the last.
