this just to grass cuttings - probably with shredded paper


Yes it does work, I find coreggated cardboard works best, (amazon
boxes!) You will be surprised just how much you will get rid of, tear
the cardboard into palm size bits, that way you get more "edges" and
it will compost faster. If it starts getting slimy, you need more
cardboard!



Also worth waiting for rain to wet cardboard boxes. Makes it easier to
rip up and remove any packing tape.
