You edited out the context of my post, which was a reply to Tim's
question about mulching his fresh grass clippings around potatoes grown
the conventional way. My information to him is correct.
Fresh hot grass clippings will damage tender stems if they are in contact.

I didn't edited anything. Your paranoia is once again showing. I am
saying that you can use grass mowings to mulch your potatoes and use
only these in the no dig system - in fact most of anything growing in
your allotment, garden, balcony, pots etc. You are saying that just
because your garden path concrete slabs got somehow damaged by the
grass you left for too long, you are now claiming that grass mowings
are bad for mulching?! I am sorry to say that you are, once again,
rewriting history.

I am not claiming that I mulch my entire potato bed with dried lawn
mowings, but I am claiming that millions of people mulch their entire
potato bed with grass mowings, hay, straw and cardboard. I am saying
that I don't know if nettles are good and that bracken is bad.

I do not grow my potatoes using the no dig system, but lots of my
friends are. I have lots of friends in the Permaculture movement, and
my closest friend who works for Stockport Healthy Living Scheme runs an
organic community garden of 6 hectares and they grow all their potatoes
in this way. I have never claimed that I grow them in this way, but
that I do mulch on occasion with grass, straw, hay when my friend from
Romiley dumps a load on Scot Avenue's allotment and I use cardboards
(especially my fruits).

Don't start your silly vendetta Janet. We all now that you are wearing
the fleece knickers in this forum. I have no problem with that either.
Keep smiling honey - you look more attractive in this way )
