Default uses for grass cuttings

Its been a interesting read! I have only been in my new house for a week.I
have two plastic compost bins.But because the garden at the moment is mostly
lawn,I am not getting any waste from borders to start composting.I cut the
lawns today & ended up with four wheel barrow loads which I have piled up on
spare ground.I will be making borders & veg patch in the future,I am in the
process of designing the garden, it is 225 ft long by 21 ft wide. It will be
quite a task,but I will be living here for a long time.I want two
greenhouses one for orchids & one for general use,a place to put my
daughters play house,veg patch,there are two damson trees so I would like to
add a couple of apple trees in that area to create more shade to lazy about
on a hammock.I would like to make the bottom of the garden more wild to
blend in with the farm land we are backing on to.Also there are already two
sheds in the garden!I don`t know how I am going to fit it in,that's why I am
going to take my time and plan.

to know what others do with there clippings.

Hi Keith
I'd like to know what you do with your compost. Do you have a
garden...vegetable or flowers? How big is your compost bin and how big is
your garden? What kind of a compost bin do you have?
I, like some of the others on this newsgroup, collect grass clippings
from neighbours. I'm just wondering about how you do things.
