I have never composted before, and have just received a compost bin
from
our council, but I don't have a clue as to where to start, or what I
can or
can not put in it.

You can put any sort of vegetation in it, it's better if it can be
mixed a
little, if you have a lot of grass, them make sure you put other stuff
in
between layers of grass, paper helps to seperate layers of stuff.

Do not put meat or fish in it, this will only attract rats.

I hope you will find this site useful. Hopefully it tells you all that
you need to know. http://tinyurl.com/32rjey

I don't think I'll bother, have been composting my own muck for so long I
could probably write my own book about it!

There is always a worm bin of course, for those interested.
