The message
from "bnd777" contains these words:

Mixing it sounds a great idea plus add in all the manure and compost
you can gather


A good source of composting material is from your local greengrocer,
who will probably let you have loads of sad, off or waste stuff.


Lawn mowings and hedge shreddings are good too. Pile 'em on in layers.

Some breweries will be happy to deliver lorry loads of spent hops for free
Some Sewerage Authorities will deliver lorry loads of treated sewage for
free
Phone livery stables and riding stables see if you can collect horse manure
Timber yards or workshops may have loads of sawdust to give away
The posibilities are endless all you need is to ask and then pile it in
