One third dirt/leaves/lawn clippings, one third shredded newspapers, one third kitchen scraps minus meat. Water it in and turn it every few days. Worms are beneficial.
For goodness sakes, don’t ever bag your lawn clippings or leaves. Mow them into the lawn and don’t put chemical fertilizers on your lawn.

I’ve read that you don’t want too much grass. I tend to keep it half leaf matter (or more) than grass because I think I read before that it throws the nitrogen balance off too much. Maybe someone here could weigh in
Fertilizing your lawn is an admission that you have too much spare time. Pray instead for drought, nature’s own lawnmower.
Add coffee grounds to it and it will heat up the pile.
I really like David the Good on YouTube. He has some videos on composting. He also has a book all about composting.
