Just a tip for grass clippings they are a super high source of nitrogen. nitrogen released as gas from your grass clippings is lighter than the air and will deplete upward into the air. If you either turn "toss" your compost or cover it after you add your clippings much more nitrogen will be trapped and a lot more heat generated creating a better compost.
I would like to see your bins as i am about to rebuild mine and am looking at all sorts of ideas there's a million and one out there.
I have worked here and been to many of the seminars put on by them. IMHO one of the leaders in organic and self sustainability farming using alternative non waste methods..
