And hot rod, i am not using grass clippings alone. It is but a portion of the materials in my compost. I figured they would add alot of nitrogen and break down semi fast.

when somone cuts there grass and collects clippings, its not all green. There is tons of brown dead grass amongst the green grass. Hes right in a hand full there is some brown but its not nessecarily 50/50.

makes sense, Thanks for the advice!
