  I am going to cut down a lot of stuff like raspberry canes etc and shred. That will give a pile of brown dry stuff. I will keep it separate until the grass starts growing again and I can mix it all up.  i get a lot of brown at certain times of year, and green at others. I keep the dry stuff back so I can mix it when necessary and not get a slimy mess from the greens.
  

  I do the same with waste paper, so I can shred it to mix in with the grass clippings.

  Can you take a bucket of your kitchen green waste with you to the lotty, or are you also making compost at home?
