Composting

Today I started my first compost heap.  I bought a compost bin, that spins and has duel compartments so that I can have one side with completed compost and the other side to create new compost.  I had difficulty finding "brown" stuff, but after a lot of reading, used some garden leaves etc. shredded newspaper, toilet paper and paper towel cartons, and paper bags, towels and napkins.  I layered with lawn clippings and kitchen greens and used a compost starter.  I watered the heap and that is it!  Now I let it "cook" hopefully and spin it regularly.  After 10 years of thinking about this, I have finally taken the big step.  I have overcome my fear of the chemistry and am just trying it.  I hope nature does its thing.
