On a happy note, my garden is, so far, 100% organic. No pesticides or herbicides used.
I used old curtains to keep the weeds down between the rows. The weeds were getting totally out of control as this is the first time we've tilled this part of the yard. Wish us continued luck!

The Tractor Supply has a composter for $130-160 that will keep it contand and rotated because it shouldn't smell if it does it not composting its roting to very different things
I have an idea about keeping the weeds down. My mom puts down newspaper in the spring and wets it then puts the dirt on top, it keep the weeds down well. I don't know if that will effect the "organic" part of the garden.
Keep on trying you will figure out the right mix between compost and weeds and fertilizer.
