Use grass clipping as mulch to keep weeds from growing?
As long as there are no pesticides used on it.
Grass is high in nitrogen, so be careful not to use too much. From: belly Organization: .

On Tue, 27 Apr 2004 13:07:38 -0400 in , "Stoph" graced the world with this thought: I use straw, its pretty cheap it lasts longer, too... but most people have free grass clippings readily available. I like straw around, well... strawberries. "lbbss" wrote in message ... I like the idea of using grass clippings as mulch around my tomatoes, black berries, grapes, and fruit trees. I am just not sure if that is recommended or a good idea? I want to find a cheap way to prevent weeds from growing and keep the ground moist. I heard that the grass clippings can spread disease to the vegetables. My dad found the clipping breeding some kind long centipede insect in the grass. |
