Generally, it's kitchen scraps and yard waste that go into the compost pile. Kitchen scraps tend to include many items other than dairy products, greasy or oily foods, and meat products. Those three food groups tend to attract nuisance wildlife.
Yard waste may include brown carbon rich debris such as fallen branches and leaves. It also may include green nitrogen rich debris such as fresh grass clippings. But whether dead or alive, it's never a good idea to put in diseased plants or weeds. The diseased plants may contaminate the entire pile, and weed seeds may sprout.
Almost anything - from garden waste (leaves, grass twigs etc) to waste food (vegetable peelings and such). You can even put natural fibres such as wood, paper, wool and cotton into it - natural fibres will decay whereas man-made fibres won't. Just remember to turn the pile occasionally, so that all the rotting vegetation gets an even chance to decay thoroughly.
Arthropods, manure, plants, and soils are things which can be put in compost. The term compost is employed properly in English when it references the dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter which is synonymous with humus. The product in question -- whether home-made or store-bought -- is used properly when its employment excludes contaminants, non-recyclables, pathogens, and pollutants and includes functions as amendments, fertilizers, mulches, and soils.
Carbon- and nitrogen-rich materials are the items which should be put in a compost bin. The materials cannot be bigger than the size of a human hand and must be degradable within a year at most. They may include non-diseased, non-germinating, uncontaminated yard debris and litter as well as such household items as non-dairy, non-greasy, non-oily kitchen leftovers and scraps as well as non-colored papers and textiles and small-sized wood furnishings.
Decomposable carbon- and nitrogen-rich materials are what can be put on a compost heap.
The compost heap functions to concentrate the breakdown of decomposable materials. Specifically, carbon-rich materials are what is known as the "brown" matter in the heap. Examples include dried grass clippings, hay, leaf litter, paper, peanut shells, and straw. Composters label nitrogen-rich materials as "green" matter for the compost pile.
Good examples range from fresh grass clippings and leaves to fresh coffee and tea grounds, fruits, manure, non-diseased plants, and vegetables.
Bad examples include anything that is diseased, greasy, oily or replete with wildlife-attracting dairy and meat products.
Alternation of carbon- and nitrogen-rich materials is what can be put on the compost heap.
Specifically, the compost heap functions to concentrate the breakdown of decomposable materials. The materials generally include items that can be called "brown" (carbon-filled) or "green" (nitrogen-rich). They should not include anything that is diseased, greasy, oily or replete with wildlife-attracting dairy and meat products.
Carbon-, nitrogen-, and oxygen-containing materials are the three things that can be put in composting piles. Small quantities of activator (blood meal, finished compost, manure, soil), alkalizer (lime, wood ashes), and peat moss may be added if the composting pile seems low in aeration (anaerobic) or nutrients.
Carbon-, nitrogen- and oxygen-containing materials describe the three things that can be put in composting piles. Small quantities of activator, alkalizer and peat moss may be added if composting piles seem low in aeration (anaerobic) or nutrients. Blood meal, finished compost, manure and soil represent examples of activators while lime and wood ashes serve as examples of alkalizers.
Anything that is biodegradable, plant clippings, bird droppings, dead frogs, can be placed in compost.

Pull them out and put the on the compost heap.
A compost pit is composting materials put into a pit dug in the ground. A compost heap is when composting materials are placed in a heap on the surface of the ground.
the things that go in a compost heap are a variety of things, don't put food in, or moist things, use brown items such as soil, manure and green items such as vegetable waste. also put in lime, because the alkali from the lime will counter the acid which is made from decomposing the items of the compost heap. make sure to put extra soil in aswell because that is where the organisms are that make the compost heap work. :)
A compost heap is hot in the middle because this is where the microbes are starting to break down the material in the compost heap and as part of their process they generate heat.
A compost heap has slits at the bottom so that oxygen can circulate through the dirt.
A compost heap is a pile of composting material that is in a pile on the ground. A compost pit is dug into the ground and the composting material is placed in it.
If you don't want them they are weeds. Pull them up and put them on the compost heap.

Communal gardens, community centers, and neighborhood centers are ways in which a community can use a compost heap. A compost heap may be constructed as part of a neighborhood association pooling resources. It also may serve as a role model and teaching resource in centers and schools.

A compost heap is either anearobic or aerobic. Anaerobic bacteria are usually quite smelly, so to encourage aerobic bacteria, the compost heap supports are designed to allow air to get at as much as possible of the compost, by having gaps between them.
A compost pile is compost in a pile or heap. a compost pit is compost in a pit or hole in the ground.
