I've been composting for a long time and I do pretty good. I like to harvest it twice a year in the fall and spring. In the fall I can usually get about 5 good wheelbarrels of sifted compost and about 3 in the spring. A big part of my success was grass clippings. But I stopped using them grass clippings belong in the yard and it is impossible to mow and not get seeds. When I would spread my compost I would also have two spread a premergent. Now can't get my compost to get hot. I was hopeing someone might know a good source of nitrogen I can use other than grass clippings and manure?
