So if your garden is reasonably large, and you don't have the time (or
the gardener) to maintain large borders, and you don't have the desire
(or the money) for large scale 'hard landscaping' then you may well
end up with a garden which is mostly lawn, and which can produce
mowings faster than the borders can consume them.


You could choose to have more shrubbery and less lawn. Shrubs need less
care than lawns, I find, and shrubs can absorb a lot of cuttings.

From time to time you do need to cut the shrubs back, but not as often as
lawnmowing, shredding is more fun than mowing, and if you layer the grass
cuttings with shreddings they don't go green slime on you.

A logical solution :-)

However I like my large lawn.

I guess the OP and myself are seeking a solution which does not involve
reducing the size of the lawn just to make it easier to dispose of the
clippings.

P.S. to take this to the logical conclusion; "just keep reducing the size of
the lawn until the problem goes away" is a solution but not perhaps the one
we are seeking
