Compositing in the garden

UPDATE:
I used far too much brown litter in the garden and even though I use compost tea.... this garden is  agonally slow this year.  I'm still convinced composting in the rows you walk in is an idea I'm going to pursue.
 Original post:
I use wide rows in my beds, and hull up the rows onto the beds in the spring to get things rolling. What you see filled with dry leaves are the furrows left by my preparation. I fill in the furrows with leaves, grass clippings, manuer, and newspaper that has only blank ink. This is much slower than a hot pile, but it's a start.  By the end of the summer, it will all be gone! I fill it back up with the leaves and what not for the winter and start again next spring.
