Compost ideas

Greetings all.
My back is not doing well right now.
Do any of you have any good compost methods that are easy on the back?
It's a shame not to have a good compost system that works for my yard.
Yard is 3/4 acre of brush with a creek.
I normally shovel dirt on my compost debri and then think I will rotortill it but that doesn't happen often.
I have a bunch of greens that I can add.
I'm am thinking of buying a small cement mixer from like Craig's list to mix the dirt and debri .
Is there an easier way?
What works for you?
Thanks.
Andy

Have you tried a compost tumbler? I haven't used one myself but it seems they might answer your problem

That looks cool Helen. I probably should get something going like that in my yard...Just haven't thought about it, and honestly haven't had the time. At one point in time, I had bookmarked something that looked easy to me...*Just haven't done it yet.*

Hi guys.
I would like to add an update to this post.
First of all I'd like to thank Helen for her tumbler suggestion.
So much better than the foolish cement mixer idea mine.

So I bought an 80 gallon lifetime tumbler from Amazon.
I worked it for a couple months or so and found that it was lacking.
I mean, I am always adding table and garden scraps to it so it never really cooked the mulch properly.
Last week I decided to add two more of the same tumblers to my compost system.
My thoughts are...one for new, one for 3 or so week old compost and and one for being ready to dump into my garden areas and just keep rotating their spots in the loop.
This way I kinda have a production compost line.
I am not sure if this is the best idea but it seems like it might work for me.
We shall see.
Thanks again.
Andy
