If your going to put sticks in your compost, put them in your next seasons compost. They take time to break down.
Avoid too much cardboard. It makes the compost very clumpy.
Dandelion greens are great but try to get them before they flower and seed.
In my limited experience, some seeds will survive the compost process. Don't be surprised to see cucumbers and peppers growing randomly in your garden. It's not the worst problem to have anyway.
When you add organic material to your soil mushrooms will appear. Compost them!
Don't waste a flower. Compost them all.
Avoid potatoes. Even when cut small they make spuds.
I consider compost done once it is unrecognizable. It is dark coco brown. It is not black.
