Another Garden Note

greenstormSo I was turning the garden the other day (I'm really curious about the organic systems in which the soil isn't turned every year, but haven't got there yet) and dug up... a peat pellet. This wasn't just any peat pellet, though; it was a peat pellet with the gigantic remains of a tomato stem and roots growing from the top of it, though it was still recogniseably a peat pellet.
Neat. I saved it for the Juggler when he gets back.
It makes me wonder how long those plastic binders stick around, too. I think this one was dumped from a pot that had held tomatoes two years ago. Nothing in the pot was ever composted or anything, as you can tell by the fact that the stem was still sticking around, but still...
Oh... long shot, I know, but does anyone here compost (quick, effectively?) and what's the best way to do it on a small city lot?
I grew up with a manure pile, horses, dogs, pigs, and chickens, which makes what to do with food scraps real easy. You feed them to something. :)
