I'm still trying to get an idea of how to compost using limited space and time. Any ideas? Pictures would be very helpful.

Take your kitchen waste like veg peels and garden waste, like fallen leaves etc, put it in a container, like a big plastic tub, throw in some earth worms, keep it moist. Keep topping it up with fresh waste and the worms will make you the most beautiful compost.
I've heard of people round here paying a lot of money for "worm compost".
You'll still need to turn it regularly. Unless it rains LOTS, you won't need a cover. To make things a bit easier at "harvest" time you can replace the bottom of the container with a sieve. Then once a week or so you shake the container a bit. The worm castings will get sifted out.
Ventilation is VERY important. Compost heaps get hot with all the decomposing going on in there and I've heard of compost heaps catching fire! So make sure you got plenty air holes.
