The only thing I would add to the above is to put the grass squares into a plastic bag to increase heat and retain moisture, both of which will result in faster decomposition.

It isn't necessary to add blood meal, it is simply a nitrogen source which will hasten decomposition and this can be accomplished with more readily available sources whether synthetic or organic. Do you have any local sources for inexpensive or free livestock manure? If so that is a great source.

I am not sure about grass seeds, but wouldn't think it a problem if the sod was taken up well after the grass has gone to seed. Most of the time grass seed isn't viable and even if it is it is often mowed down before ripe/viable. I don't have any experience with Bermuda grass though.

You can skip the nitrogen source altogether by allowing more time for decomposition. As odd as it may sound, simply peeing on the stuff adds nitrogen and that is an ever present, totally free source ;-) If you consume alcohol and are male you doubtless get the urge to hose stuff down outside after dark anyway;-)

yes ... craigslist always has people trying to get rid of horse manure although I don't see any listings now ...

we have windows on all sides but maybe I will take the totally free source out by bucket

thanks for the tips

using a juice bottle and a funnel it is possible for women to contribute to this resource collection as well. Urine is also a great compost activator.
Do make sure to sprinkle some cover material over where you spread urine as the odor could become objectionable to some people.

Just be aware that California Certified organic rules do not allow human urine.

Any seeds from that Bermuda grass will be the least of you concern since Bermuda grass spreads more easily by the roots. Blood meal is a high Nitrogen source so any form of Nitrogen, manure being another, could be used. I'm not sure I would put anything into a plastic bag, anaerobic (in the ansence of air) digestion being the primary concern here.
