As Lottie dolly says, it's best to have a mixture of brown and green matter in the heap to stop it either becoming too dry or too wet!
Everyone makes such a song and dance about composting whilst if you chuck all organic matter, weeds and all, into a heap in the corner, eventually you will get useable compost! The only thing to avoid are cooked meats which will attract vermin!
