Build compost heap

We have a lot of organic trash. Food scraps and clippings. I could not think of a better thing to do then to make a compost heap. I've been reading up on it. I know I can get my hands on a lot of green material, but brown would be a bit of a problem. We managed to dry out some weeds and such last week. I think that can serve as our brown. I need to find some way to dry out grass clippings without them blowing away. That can serve as our brown. I also need to build a bit of a corral so it does not look like a pile of trash. At this point I am also thinking about burying what we have so far because of the lack of brown material. Decisions decisions.
