Grass Clippings
- Grass clippings make great mulch and they are available almost every week right after the lawn gets mowed!
- Because you will get grass seeds in your garden you may need to weed a little more often.
- If you can get grass that doesn’t have any seed heads on it you might avoid that particular problem.
- If your lawn was recently fertilized wait until it the first mowing after a good rainfall or watering before you use the clippings on the garden or you could burn the plants roots.
- Always spread out the clippings evenly and not more than 1" deep (2.5 cm) or it will suffocate your plants trying to grow through it.
- If it’s too thick it will also start to rot and turn into a smelly, slimy mess.
