Default Getting rid of grass cuttings

Yeah .....i cant see why with a grass area that size you cant find space for
another compost bin
I mean I only have 1/4 acre plot but I have 7 compost bins all 1 metre
square and high and i need every last ounce of it for my flower and shrub
beds and fruit trees
I suspect you need a more balanced garden

Yes I know I can compost them, and I do to some extent, but I have
almost half an acre of formal lawn and only have a few places I can
use the compost, I give much of it away but even so there is just too
much volume of cuttings and the compost bins are full.

The lawn is prone to moss so I know I should pick up the cuttings
instead of mulching back in, (I use a cylinder mower) at the moment I
take them to the tip but there must be a better solution !


That's an awful lot of lawn... Could you cope with slightly less lawn and
slightly more composting space?
