Grass mowings are an excellent source of nitrogen, layer the mowings, shreddings and personal activator, too thick layer of mowings does not work well so thinner layers are best, but this will heat everything up well and break the woodier stuff up nicely. After the heat goes out of it, turn it and incorporate more compost activators (ie mowings, urine, nettle tops, comfrey) Make sure your shreddings are nice and damp as well. You should get some lovely stuff
