All types of stuff. If your making a compost pile, make sure you stir it every once in a while, it will help break it down. I have eggshells, strawberries, leaves, lawn clippings, saw dust, bannana peals. Can't remember everything

its a compost pile. I make my own soil.
Sometimes I take a scoop of it and add it into my regular soil. Because mine is more acidic than the soil I usually use.

Also I read newspaper is good as well.
You can take like a sheet and put it underneath the soil at different levels. So like soil/newspaper/soil/newspaper. and when it breaks down it is suppose to be good.
