Grass cuttings are not the best stuff for compost as they can suffocate the bin, so to speak.
My elderly lady neighbour (RIP) used to swear by urine on her compost. Though I never looked to see her do it I assumed she poured it from a bucket rather than squatting on the top of her compost bin. Still it is easier for gentlemen to do it when the urge arises.
"Always put a thick layer of course brown material at bottom of bin for aeration. Tip #2: Let grass clippings dry out for a couple of days before composting. Tip #3: If your bin is stuffed full of grass clippings, turn the pile (use a compost aerator tool) every few days for very fast results". From below.
