I started composting this year. You might be surprised to know how much everyday stuff can be composted, including a lot of the waste normally dumped down the kitchen sink. A very helpful article was emailed to me, so I thought I would share some of the mentioned tips:
BROWN PLUS GREEN EQUALS BLACK GOLD!
The best compost "recipe" includes a combination of carbon-rich brown materials (dry leaves, plant stalks, pine needles,small twigs, wood shavings, shredded newspaper) and nitrogen-rich green materials (fresh leaves, lawn clippings, fruit and vegetable scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds, tea bags). Carbon is the spark that starts the composting process. Nitrogen fuels the microorganisms that decompose materials. Try to add about three times as many brown materials as green materials. Do not compost meat, bones, animal waste, dairy products, diseased plants, seeded weeds, plants treated with herbicides or pesticides, or any inorganic material. Keep adding kitchen scraps during the winter months. They'll decompose when the weather warms.
