I have 3 acres of woodland and an essentially unlimited source of browns (deadfall, tree trimmings, etc) my issue is that we don't generate nearly enough greens to balance out a large pile!

What are people using as a bulk source of Greens?

    Coffee grinds,animal manure, spent grain from breweries, pee.

    I was using fresh grass clippings. Dunno if that’s bulk enough for you.

    I’ve partnered with food pantries to pick up produce they receive that can’t be distributed before it goes bad. I’d get 20+ 5 gallon buckets a week from the place I worked with.

    Other options are grass clippings or used coffee grounds from a coffee shop.

    Kinda have this problem too. too much spent/old soil and on top of that, having old compost mixed in with it too. I try to mix in cardboard as much as I can, alongside our old box coffee holders from our local coffee shop. I try to save old coffee grounds too.
