CSJ Ecology Team Tuesday Tip – Use Your Grass Clippings for a Healthy Lawn

According to K-State Research and Extension, grass clippings are a common but useful waste. Clippings caught in grass catcher attachments on lawn mowers comprise a large part of yard wastes and are excellent
material for use in compost piles. However, recent research indicates it is beneficial to leave clippings from regularly mowed lawns spread over the lawn or mulched into it.
Unless you are intent on collecting clippings to add to your compost pile, allow grass clippings to fall back onto the lawn.
