Sounds good.
The grass will take a while to break down but I can't see why it shouldnt provide some NPK once it has. Once it really gets going you could also end up with a lovely brew containing all manner of good bacteria.
Compost Tea ! You can add seaweed meal, molasses and even worm castings, stir frequently and decant into bottles within 24 hrs unless you use an aerating pump to bubble oxygen through the mix. Without it, the liquid can start breeding anaerobic bacteria which makes it start to smell bad - this, in turn, would not be good for soil. Oh and use rain water not tap water...
So when my 'tea' drains through I need to bottle it till use? And the rain water, is that to dilute the brew?

Silage effluent has NPK value (at the perfect ratio! 2-1-1.5 ) so would be a good lawn feed but it can be quite acidic so they would need to be wary of scorching.
Yes, the concentration will vary a lot. Generally the ratio of N:P:K will be the same.
scorching? so id need to dilute it?
