Default More on Composting

I always knew that people love talking rubbish

Given the vast and fascinating response to my last post, I've
decided to start another one!

Whilst turning the compost, I came across a couple of large
"mats" of grass cuttings, compressed, but not rotting down - in
fact some near the edge of the heap were still dry! I always
spread sheets of newspaper between layers of cuttings (1 in
deep), but remembered that my kind neighbour (who actually
enjoys cutting grass) cut my lawns several times in the summer
when we were away, and that must be the cause of the problem.
I've chopped them up with the spade as much as I could, will
they now compost I wonder?
