In compost pile several organic materials cannot be used, as you do not have pretty knowledge that how much of its quantity be required, only experts can do that.

Although the grasses can be used in the compost pile, but try to include the grass that can grow in the compost pile. Do not include the weeds like morning glory, ivy, sheep, and kinds of grasses, these can re-grow the new garden in the compost pile.
