Yes, my "recipe" is whatever I have at the time. I use lots of dry leaves which I hoard in fall. I have three 32 gallon garbage cans which I use to store shredded leaves, and overflow stays in lawn bags until needed. I collect leaves in the neighborhood, and two guys with lots of big trees deliver their leaves to my house. When I run out of leaves, I buy a bale of straw (that's the only compost ingredient that I pay for). Most of my compost is made from yard waste, a few kitchen scraps, coffee and tea bags...
I use two Biostack bins and like them a lot. Each is made of three bottomless tiers, and I divide them into whatever size stacks I need at the time for different batches of compost. The stacking tiers makes flipping the contents easier because contents don't have to big lifted so high.
