How I did it: We moved from our apartment into a little duplex, so now we have a backyard.  I had some leftover chicken-wire from a sculpture I did (but it's cheap anyway), so I rolled it into a wide cylinder and twist it a few inches into the ground.  Throughout the day, we keep our food scraps in a bowl in the fridge, and when it gets full we simply go out and dump it into the bin!  It's good to stir it once in a while, but not necessary.  Nature will eventually do its magic, and you'll have soil that's rich in nutrients.

Lessons & tips: one great thing that happens is, when we throw seeds in, like say, the top part of a bell pepper, a million little plants start to sprout right in the compost!  we pull them out a replant them in pots.
