Default Isn't it funny how...

takes nitrogen out then releases it again.
Ive been using one of these mulching mowers for years, but with water
restrictions etc, wish I had a lawn.
As far as a better lawn is concerend, I dont think it makes much diference.

"The grass clippings left behind by a mulching mower essentially
function as a lawn fertilizer, as if you were applying compost to the
lawn.


Compost gets to very high temperatures, that's another reason
compost/grass clippings should be composted first.

As for fertilising, like someone else said, dead organic matter takes
nutrients *out* of the soil until it's properly composted.
