I know some people won't like it, but I've used urea in the past when I can't get enough greens for my compost pile. I haven't needed to for some time, but a pile of mostly leaves, a bit of dirt and a bit of urea will heat up and break down quite nicely.

EDIT: Just realized this is the Gardening in the Green area. So never mind the urea bit (well synthetic anyhow, there are of course other ways to get urea). I usually just till the leaves into my garden plots in the fall now anyhow.
