I find most people i talk to add just about everything to a compost heap, besides the obvious onion skins, citrus peel, meat, bones etc.

I prefer to keep food scraps for a vermi-farm and make a traditional Green/Brown compost using grass clippings, shredded branches and or shredded pea straw or similar.

Once the worms have gone through the vegie scraps i toss a handful or 2 of the vermicast into the green/brown mix as this will add worm capsules and live worms to help turn the mix.

grass clippings placed in clear tough plastic bag tied off.punch holes around bag,place in sunny area,soon turns to compost.

Yeah thats a good idea, I prefer black plastic as it tends to cook quicker and kills more seeds but same principal either way...
