Yes. Any kind of leaves or vegetation are OK. Do not add meat, or anything with fats or protein, to the compost pile. Wood is OK if it has been shredded; the output of a chipper/shredder will compost well, but not thick limbs or branches.

How is organic compost made?
You just create a pile where you throw old veggie and fruit tops and bottoms, leaves, grass clippings, newspaper, and other organic or plant matter onto the pile. No sycamore leaves, coffee grounds, or meat should be put in the pile. Then turn the pile often and a rich black soil will form in about 3 years. Then use it in your garden or flower bed. -Super Llama

What are the diseases of vermiculture composting?
Vermiculture composting involves using worms to break down organic matter added to the compost. As such, there are no "diseases" in the compost.However one source cautioned to not let dogs or cats use the compost pile for urination and defecation, since animal wastes *could* add harmful bacteria that can colonize in the heat and nutrient-rich environment of a compost pile.
Does composting relate to the Nitrogen Cycle If so how?
Micro organisms use the ammonia from rotting food waste in a compost pile to create nitrogen that is available for plants to absorb. In a compost pile, rotting food produces ammonia and bacteria transform it into a soil nutrient, a process called nitrogen fixing. Legumes (beans) form nodules on their roots which accept nitrogen from the air and fix it in the soil through the nodules. So yes, a compost pile is part of the nitrogen cycle. It is the habitat for essential microorganisms to convert the nitrogen in ammonia into the nitrogen that plants can use to grow. The compost pile is also part of the carbon cycle in which carbon from living organisms breaks down and is converted into soil and used to build the cells of other plants. The compost pile does not demonstrate the full cycle of nitrogen or carbon, but it plays a part.

How long to make usable compost from chicken poop?
You can layer the chicken manure in with any other compost or keep it separate in an open compost pile. Add straw, leaves or grass clippings. Water the compost weekly and turn every month. The uric acid in the chicken feces will burn young plants so it is best to allow the compost at least 6 months to percolate before adding directly to the growing garden. Use fresh chicken manure in the fall when the growing season is over to allow the winter precipitation to leech the nutrients into the soil.
