I've got a relatively small yard, so I don't generate the clippings some people do so oversupply isn't an issue. Devils'Advocate has a good suggestion, and I'd like to add this: Try to layer the "green" and "brown" clippings, and you'll be amazed at how quickly they break down. Keep the compost wet - I believe the rule of thumb is to keep it the consistency of a wrung out sponge - and turn it once a week or so. I believe Lee Valley has a tool that you can stab into the compost pile and when you pull it out, two wings stick out to help stir the pot.
