Abstract/Contents: | Profiles various methods to use lawn clippings, including mulching, bagging, and double cutting. Suggests that mulching may "[save] 30 to 40 minutes per job," and that "[mulching] keeps nutrients in the soil, potentially reducing the need for fertilizer." Notes that "some still prefer the tidy appearance of a clipping-free lawn." Explains double cutting, stating that it "is more effective than mulching...thick turf." Briefly discusses incorporating mulching and bagging methods. |
