I think you already answered your own question. Anything organic can go in there i believe.
Composting need circulation and air so putting it in a pit will be had to turn.
Can you make a composter that you can tumble?
See the photo
Any waste from fruits or vegetables. One person I know puts her junk mail in it too (but not ones with celephane windows). You want to avoid meat products because that will attract raccoons, dogs, etc. Grass clippings are good, too.
Grass clippings, leaves, coffee grounds, shredded paper, paper towels, napkins, newspaper, all vegetable kitchen scraps. No dairy or meats. no bones no dog poop, no kitty litter. You should try to layer, brown then green when you can. Make sure the compost pile is located properly because it needs some sun and some shade. It also needs to be moist and you need to turn the pile often. and most of all have fun.
kitchen waste
lawn clippings (use thin layers so they don’t mat down)
chopped leaves (large leaves take a long time to break down)
shredded branches
garden plants (use disease-free plants)
shredded paper
weeds (before they go to seed)
straw or hay
newspaper
wood ash (sprinkle lightly between layers)
hay
tea leaves and coffee grounds
What Not to Compost:
Meat scraps and fatty trash
excessive wood ashes (counteracts with manures)
sawdust generally slows the decomposition of the pile
Start with a layer of chopped leaves, grass clippings and kitchen waste like your veggie/fruit pulp. If you have banana peels, eggshells, old lettuce leaves, apple cores, coffee grounds, and whatever else, running it through the food processor will help it compost faster. Keep adding materials until you have a six-inch layer, then cover it with three to six inches of soil, manure, or finished compost.
Your compost pile may benefit from a compost activator. Activators get the pile working, and speed the process. Alfalfa meal, barnyard manure, bone meal, cottonseed meal, blood meal, good rich compost from a friend’s finished pile or even a handful of fertilizer are all good activators. Every time you add a layer to your pile add some activator and water well.
Hope this helps!
