My gardener, after having screwed up once again by not bringing enough

For some reason I feel like this is a terrible idea. I don't like the
look and what if there are weeds with the cut grass that take root?

What do you all think?

We have used grass clippings for the last 25 or so years on our
vegetable gardens. The only thing to worry about is whether or not an
herbicide has been used on the grass. The grass decomposes well and
provides nutrients to the soil.

If you do no like the look, that is another thing altogether.
