Outdoors How to compost grass cuttings (and anything else) quickly

Submitted by Steve

Grass cuttings are very slow to compost unless you take a lot of time and trouble... unless...

1. Dig a shallow hole
2. Pile up the grass cuttings in the hole
3. When the wife is not looking, 'wee' on the cuttings.
4. 'inspect' the pile each day (and have a quick 'whiz' too!)
5. Next weekend cut the lawn and put on more grass cuttings
6. keep going until the pile gets a bit tall and then start another pile.
7. When the 2nd one is full, the first one will be nicely 'digested' and ready for use on the garden.

Definitely not a tip for the ladies though!
