Don't add cooked kitchen scrapes, just the raw peelings, tops etc. Be sure if your using say a 5 gal bucket to drill some holes in the bottom and set on a few bricks by your steps. Get something like a mini shovel or fireplace shovel to turn it with periodically. You might have to secure it somehow if critters like racoons, possums, rats, etc get into it.
