| Abstract/Contents: | "Grasscycling is a term to describe the process of leaving grass clippings and mulched leaves on the lawn. Grasscycling with a specially designed mulching mower discourages the development of fungus organisms, the most common cause of turf desease. It's called 'TIC' for Thin Layer Composting. As the clippings decompose, they encourage microbial activity and discourage fungus development. Grasscycling lawns were greener and healthier. Grasscycling can be practiced any time of year." Presents the dedicated and convertible mulching systems for different purposes. Also provides recommendations to avoid a thatch buildup. |
