Lawn Mowings Make Good Mulch
The lawns have grown since the last rains, and the lawn clippings make a useful mulch.
- Grass clippings form a mat if spread thickly, which is no problem round trees, as it helps to conserve the moisture.
- Grass makes a good vegetable mulch and it is rich in nitrogen. But spread thinly for vegetables.
- It is probably safer to put all the clippings on the compost heap, and use them next year when they have rotted down.
Remember NOT to use lawn mowings if the grass has been treated with a herbicide.
