It would be a good idea to mix the wood chippings
with high nitrogen material xxxx



such as what ? manure ? veg remains ?


Yep, both good. As a rough guide, green stuff is high in nitrogen, and
grass clippings are particularly good. For the best results, mix it all
up thoroughly. Another excellent source of nitrogen, but not a technique
that everyone will like, is to pee on your heap as often as possible. I
have neighbours, so have to wait until after dark!


A bucket in the greenhouse makes this unnecessary.
