A WWII Vet I know grows great vegetables. Really really great vegetables. His wife told me their secret: in the fall he digs holes around the vegetable bed. Then, instead of using a fancy-schmancy composter, they simply put their kitchen scraps etc. into the holes. Until the ground freezes they cover them up with dirt. Come Spring they lightly till in the compost.
Now I know this goes against the recommended method of composting: layering the right balance of brown and green materials and turning regularly to aid the breakdown. I'm not saying I'm not going to continue to do this method over the winter.
But for today, I'm also digging holes.
