Use 3 parts greens(grass)- 1 Part Browns(Oak leaves) works for me. Mix in some manure and throw in the grounds. Mound it up and turn it every couple days. Have you looked to see if any of the local towns/cities are doing the free compost thing. It is a trend across the country. The locals can bring their leaves and grass clippings and they compost it. They get grants from the gov. to but the equipment to spray and shred it. Some even sift it and get all the chunks out. It considered recycling. I get mine by the truckload. Bet I've got 3000 lbs. or more for free. Might check into it.
