Grass Cycling and Corn Gluten Meal

GRASS CYCLING

Mowing, Clipping, Bagging

It will be a while before the mower blades even start to dream about cutting grass again- (at least here in Ontario), but the Hamilton Spectator article today is a reminder that the City of Hamilton plans to encourage residents to leave their grass clippings on their lawns in order to reduce its collection of yard waste.The grass clippings as they decay, release ammonia that stinks up the city's composting plant.The grass clippings are also hard on the green containers. The clippings are heavy and the containers often break as they are being emptied.

Turf King encourages grass cycling . A lawn of 1,000 square feet of lawn can produce 200 to 500 pounds of clippings during the growing season. Leaving them on the lawn, provides moisture, organic matter and nutrients. See the full "Grass Cycling " article in our library.
