Making lots of compost?

Hi,
Took on my allotment last summer, and OH has made me one large pallet compost bin, plus today I have just been given two large plastic "Dalek" ones (thanks Mum and step-dad!).
However, I have nothing to put in them.  All the weeds we have cleared over the last few months have been nasty perennials, which I have bagged up and thrown away, and the  annual weeds which are just starting to come up I get rid rid of while they are still tiny, so they are hardly building up much of a compost heap.  At home my two Dalek bins are always kept fairly full with kitchen waste, grass clippings, newspaper, hoover bag stuff etc etc.  
What do others put in their allotment compost heaps - do you bring stuff from home?
I was going to order a load of manure for this autumn, but after readling several dire warnings about manure I am wondering if I would be better sticking to just compost, and would love to have plenty by then, but can't imaginge ever having anywhere near enough at this rate

Confucius, he say: "Gardener who says he has enough compost is probably talking "manure"!"


It's a good question; I actually ask less compostually aware (new phrase!) friends and neighbours for their used potting compost, grass clippings etc to boost my bins! 

and don't forget to pass on the occasional courgette 

I keep an area of rough grass un-cut until the farmers make a hay crop (often a lot later than that even,m depending on how busy I am!) and then I cut it, and just pile-up to make rough compost. Mix 50:50 with the manure heap in the Autumn, and then use in the Spring.

Shredded paper gives plenty of bulk, and mixed with grass clippings makes great compost 

Get some comfrey plants loads of leaf harvested about 3/ 4 times a season, get hold of a shredder all the waste paper goes in . Find a big patch of nettles and strong gloves. Any chicken keepers near you might want to get rid of the coop litter that will compost.

On a slightly different track leaves from anywhere around you need stack separately from the rest of the stuff though.

Good luck

One last thought grow some green manure plants Phalecia or the like.
