Default moldy grass clippings..

coykiesaol said

Hi all!
I was saving some grass clippings for mulch and discovered this morning
that they were very wet and moldy. (yes, lesson learned) I am assuming
that it is NOT a good idea to use moldy grass clippings for mulch,
right?


Start a compost pile. Google around for the ratio of greens/browns as
poster had already alluded to. I compost all my leaves, kitchen scraps
(veggies), garden trimmings etc. It's simply amazing how little work it
is, how much the mass is reduced, and what comes out... simply sweet.
Turn in into the soil next spring and you'll have loam people die for.

Your prob is going to be browns.... maybe add the shreadings from your
paper shredder?
