As long as there are no pesticides used on it.

Grass is high in nitrogen, so be careful not to use too much.

I use straw, its pretty cheap

it lasts longer, too... but most people have free grass clippings
readily available. I like straw around, well... strawberries.

I like the idea of using grass clippings as mulch around my tomatoes,
black
berries, grapes, and fruit trees. I am just not sure if that is
recommended or a good idea? I want to find a cheap way to prevent weeds
from growing and keep the ground moist.
I heard that the grass clippings can spread disease to the vegetables.
My dad found the clipping breeding some kind long centipede insect in the
grass.
