I built a compost pile out of some leftover pallets from work. I made a double sided area, almost like stables and used some fencing to hold everything in. One side, I've only used lawn clipping and a few plants, the other side gets lawn clippings and all the kitchen compost. I'm just experimenting to see which one makes dirt faster.
After starting the pile this spring, I now feel it would be more beneficial to start one in the fall when there are plenty of leaves to go in it. Lawn clipping and kitchen compost is entirely too green and cook too hot in the summer time. The heat kills the bacteria that breaks things down. I have to turn pretty regularly to keep the heat down...and the stink.
Coffee grounds are great for the compost pile, and gardens in general. I know Starbucks saves their coffee grounds and gives them away for this reason.
