    Hi,

    Have composted before but now will have more 'green' (grass) to compost

    I can avail of free woodchips-horse manure which I can use to mix with the grass .

    Any downsides ?

    Horse manure already has the ideal Carbon:Nitrogen ratio so adding to it is counter productive. Wood chip would be better suited for grass cuttings but it takes longer to break down; more turning etc.
    What size pile are you looking at creating?

    Thanks. Its woodchip-horse dropping waste from stables. I will have about 2 acres of grass to mix with it.
