Compost needs air, moisture and food to work well.
A mixture of half and half greens and browns should yield good compost. Such items as meat, fish, bones, dairy products, pet wastes and grease are best left out of the compost bin. Glass, plastic, metals are other inorganic waste cannot be composted. Time is the other ingredient, good compost like good wine takes time to ferment. You should have reasonable compost in 3-6 months.
