I have never composted before, and have just received a compost bin from
our council, but I don't have a clue as to where to start, or what I can or
can not put in it.

You can put any sort of vegetation in it, it's better if it can be mixed a
little, if you have a lot of grass, them make sure you put other stuff in
between layers of grass, paper helps to seperate layers of stuff.

Do not put meat or fish in it, this will only attract rats.
