Nature Mill makes the same claim -- odorless composting that can be used in an apartment. However, you have to dry out the compost (maybe the roof or a balconey) before you put it in the bin. In the end, you are left with 10 pounds of compost. ...Now the big question: What do you do with 10 lbs of compost if you live in an apartment!?!?!?!

If you have a lot of time on your hands, you can also just toss everything in a trash can lined with a plastic garbage bag. You add fruit/veggie scraps and yard clippings, lime, and water until it's full. Roll the can around once or twice a month and in 6-9 months, you should have compost.

You can buy a composting bin...and you do get good results quickly. Or, if you're not in a hurry, you can just bury your materials (approx 3 inches) under a thin layer of dirt and water and turn once in a while.

I don't have a garden right now, but I know that people in Finland are doing something special with composting, and the results are fantastic, because the compost has an incredibly great smell. I'll check it out and when I find the link, I'll post it.
