What are some good "green" and "brown" materials for a compost pile?
Waiting for fall...

I just use grass for green and fallen leaves for brown it works great.
I think on the old site you can find a list of stuff that you can use.

Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong, but I belive all your kitchen waste is considered 'green'. (of course, no meats should go in compost)

If you fryed it don't use it in your compost. Also any milk products are a no-no from what I've read.

I've attached a link; at the bottom of the page is a chart with good "green" and "brown" materials. It's pretty informative, I've always wanted a compost file myself so I think I'm going to try it. Good Luck! http://www.compostguide.com/
