Life QotD: On Composting

Have you ever tried composting?  Any tips you can share?

My parents used to do it for our veggie garden in New Zealand back in the 80s and I am living with some people who do it now - but I have to profess ignorance in this area. I need some education. I am not really a gardener - in spite of the fact that my parents both seemed to enjoy gardening, my paternal grandfather was an extremely good and keen gardener and my uncle has a PHD in horticultural science. Go figure. But I've always been living in city environments with small gardens or no garden. So I have not yet been bitten by the gardening bug. Maybe it will kick in in my 40s - or if I'm married with kids or something.
