First of all, you can't put in any meats (ham, turkey, roast beef, etc.),sauces (mustard, mayonnaise, dressing, etc.) , or dairy products (yogurt, cheese, milk, etc.). So basically you only put in grains, fruits, and vegetables. After you put your stuff in, seal it up somehow so that flies can't get in. You will also need to put dirt in along with your food products. During the time that the food products are sitting there, they start to break down. A way that you could help with the process is putting some worms in. After your food products are all broken down you can put it in the grass or plants to fertilize.
Yes, a leaf in a compost pile is biodegradable. It will break down into nutrient-rich material on its own and through consumption and excretion by macro- and micro-organisms supported by decomposition-friendly air, heat and moisture. In or out of a compost pile a leaf will contribute to the formation of dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter called compost or humus.
Extreme heat and cold will effect compost formation. Many times I have measured very active compost piles, with sufficient moisture, at 120 degrees F. Temperatures above may begin to adversely effect decomposition, depending on moisture present. I do not know at what higher temperatures decomposition slows or stops. Cold temperatures slow the metabolism of decomposition organisms. Therefore compost formation eventually stops at temperatures approaching freezing. The decay organisms vary greatly and their heat/cold tolerances will vary also.
A compost pile is compost in a pile or heap. a compost pit is compost in a pit or hole in the ground.
