Put your kitchen scraps (no meats or meat products), grass clippings, and leaves in a pile or a compost bin and let them rot! Keep them wet (moist, not dripping) and turn them with a shovel or pitchfork.
Keep a Carbon to Nitrogen ration of 25:1 or 30:1. Carbon rich materials are things like dried leaves, dried grass clippings, cardboard, and straw. Nitrogen rich materials are things like fresh leaves, fresh grass clippings, and kitchen scraps.
If the Carbon content is too high, it will take more time to break down. If the Nitrogen content is too high, you will get a smelly pile.
