Default Use grass clipping as mulch to keep weeds from growing?

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.


I've done it, but ended up with lots of grass sprouting after the
mulch decomposed.
