Maybe true but I’d guess the composter is a lot more efficient. IMO for this to be practical you’d need an easy way to dry grass clippings and then just bag your yard when you mowed. I’m not sure that it still wouldn’t be easier to cut firewood. I think one guy could cut and split 10 tons of firewood in a day. Bagging 10 tons of grass, drying, and storing it it wouldn’t be as quick.
Imagine composting a bale of hay and then burning what is left over. Now imagine burning a bale of hay and composting what is left over. Which one, burning or composting, gets more out of that bale? That's the one that is more efficient.
Ten tons of hay is 400 50-lb bales. It all depends on what equipment is available as to how much work it is to gather that. Could be a fair bit.
