Thanks for your response Diggernotdreamer (though I must say I would have thought that you could have come up with a more appropriate name for use on this web-site!!). It’s good to know that I will be able to produce good compost with just the mowings and shreddings (and not forgetting the personal activator).
By the way, why do most books say to make compost in layers? The advantage is’nt obvious to me and I’ve made much better compost by chopping up all my garden waste material into roughly 4 inch lengths with a type of machete and stirring it all together like a big pudding. It seems to compost much quicker this way…
