Doug, I've composed about everything from woodchips, leafs, grass, cow poo, horse poo, coffee grounds, kitchen scraps.
Some have long term benefits and short term dissadvantes. It will take more grass and leafs than the average person has. Some gardners find a person who bags grass and leafs. It will take truck loads to make a big difference.
If there are seeds in hay the animal eat, their poo will plant seeds in your garden. If you use grass clippings and pick up crab grass or weed seeds, you'll be planting weeds.
It seems like composting material for a year or more, you'll still have seeds that have survived.
Some gardening sites recommend wood chips for mulch, retains moisture and when it composts on the surface it will add neutrants.
I have added leafs to surface of garden in fall. By end of summer most of the leafs are gone.
Add grass to surface and it will compost faster than leafs. If you compost grass with dirt, it will smell like horse poo.
I used to get horse poo and sawdust saturated with horse pee. The sawdust was high in nitrogern and composted fast.
Worms in garden is lunch for moles. Normal year I trap many moles dinning in my garden.
Bottom line, there is no easy fix for the average person.
