Twice I've built compost piles that heated up beautifully, using grass clippings as the primary green. I can't get grass clippings right now but have access to several hundreds of pounds of coffee grounds. Does anyone know if I could get a pile to heat up well if I used my old dead garden clippings from my spring cleanout as the brown and the coffee grounds as the green? I'm reluctant to build a big heap if it won't heat up to be rough compost in fairly short order. Don't want to attract bears for java!
