I have never composted before, and have just received a compost bin from our
council,

All Hail your council. Well done them.


but I don't have a clue as to where to start, or what I can or can
not put in it.
Any help and advise would be appreciated.

My own philosophy is: if it was once a plant, is not going to be eaten
and has not been cooked then it goes in the compost. The exception to
this is any material that is obviously diseased.

Having said that and despite the fact it is cooked plant, I put paper in
mine too. In addition and for some reason I simply don't understand but
seems entirely logical to me I put my used tea bags in there as well.

My compost is fine, my veggies love it.
