I've googled, and the consensus seems to be that it's OK to use new mown
grass clippings to mulch beds.

To add to the "wisdom" of the Net, does anyone here have practical
experience of doing this?


A little. It is certainly OK, but do spread them thinly, as thickish
layers turn into silage. It didn't find it was terribly effective,
so I compost mine now. My soil is sandy, so not quite the same.
