leaves, shredded newspaper, straw, grassclippings, kitchen scraps - but nothing that is meat or dairy, eggshells, coffee grounds, tea bags, -------if it is organica plant matter it can go it, avoid weed seeds

Here's a good site for basic compost info:

Also google "compost calculator" to get a site that will help you to balance your carbon to nitrogen inputs.
