Karen,
Yep, got plenty of carbon. Nitrogen is in short supply this time of year. All the grass clippings and green waste from the garden went into the outdoor compost bin. I'm saving our coffee grounds for the worm bin and I think the nearest Starbucks is a 25 mile drive each way. I dosed the leaves up with some 12-12-12 and got the heat up into the 70's. I haven't checked it for a few days. We need to run by one of our nearby horse owners. They always have plenty of manure to dispose of. I'm planning on setting up an area for hot composting in the early Spring when the weather is more appropriate.
Starbucks sets a good example for other companies that produce usable waste. I imagine Walmart dumps lots of old produce into the dumpster.
