".........Victoria don't you find that rotting clippings would take the
nitrogen
from the soil? I always thought that it had to be well rotted or the
action of the decay locks up valuable minerals in the soil. On the other
hand if it's on top of a layer of well rotted stuff perhaps it doesn't
matter?........"

Why not top dress with a Nitrogen fertilizer?
