Composting Materials

I've done quite a bit of research on which materials would be good for my compost and which items would be bad. A carbon rich material is considered "Brown" and a nitrogen rich material is considered "Green".

The Brown materials I've used or will use in my compost:
shredded paper
dried leaves
lint from the dryer
pencil shavings
wood ash
grass clippings

I've chosen not to use weeds. If the temperature in the composter doesn't reach about 160 degrees it will not kill the weed seeds. That's not a chance i'm willing to take.

The Green materials I've used or will use in my compost:
coffee grinds (with filters)
tea bags
vegetable and fruit scraps
egg shells
crushed stale cereal
crushed stale chips
the liquid drained from canned fruits and vegetables
the water from my fish bowl when I clean it out.
cow manure

Materials I don't want to use:
pet feces
weeds
meat
greasy foods
coal ash

I chop everything really small before placing it in my compost pile. The smaller the pieces are, the faster it will compost. Once I have filled my composter, I won't add anything else to it. I don't want everything at different stages of decomposition. I place new items in my garden trash bin. Once my compost is ready, I will empty out the drum and start a new batch from the materials in my trash bin.

I found this really great site called "163 Things You Can Compost".
