You need two element in a compost heat. Nitrogen and Carbon. The first is obtained from green material like leaves and lawn mowings The second is from cellulose - things like straw, sawdust, paper. A proportion of around three to one is about right. You also need Oxygen, that’s where the turning comes in. If you don’t turn a you will get a smelly slimy heap as it rots anaerobically.
You don’t need to be over worried about it though. Everything will rot down eventually
