I lost the packaging, it was a small container I used onetime on the front
lawn. Ouch. I wasn't sure if the herbicide would actually go into the grass
itself. I already put it on a small patch of corn - now we shall see

A month ago my front lawn was treated with weed and feed (not that it did
any good, the weeds seemed to like it lol). Anyhow, one month, a bit of
rain, and 2 cuttings later, I would like to use the grass clippings as a
mulch in the garden.

Is it ok to use fresh cut grass as a mulch in a garden? And is there
likely
to be any significant amounts of the herbicide from the weed and feed in
the
grass?

Read the packet instructions. Most say not to use in garden for at least 6
months. If you want to use it hot compost it for 6 months or set it aside
somewhere in the garden and let it weather by itself. You may get away
with
it doing no damage to your plants but that is a risk, especially if you
throw it on vege gardens.
