It will break down into rich compost. It's one of the best things you can add to a garden.I have one of those rotating composters.. been throwing kitchen scraps in it for about 6+ months.. not really sure what to expect as far as soil/compost.

Years of doing my wood pile in the same spot, wood bark, chips and saw dust all have given me red worms the size of small snakes. I blows my mind how big those worms are when I uncover some damp leaves or some old bark, they are like 6-7''s long, I use that earth in the garden.I've never really done it with kitchen scrap.

I added some compost starter to the tumbler to get things moving along. Thinking about getting a couple of tubs of red earthworms to toss in there as well.

I built one of these at my former residence but used iron pipe for the stand instead of wood. It worked very well, and fast!That’s what we have they work great. We need a second one though, too much compost and the dirt doesn’t go as far as you’d think. Also if you keep adding to it you can’t remove the dirt.
Those rotating ones work well. If it gets too wet you can add in some brown materials like leaves or even some compostable boxes or paper bags chopped up. The best results are to have 2 of those where you rotate the older stuff to a second drum and add new materials to the first one. Or just one drum and then rotate out the material as it ages into a pile that you can rotate over.I've never really done it with kitchen scrap. I have a pile I toss leaves and grass clippings into..
