In 1969 I grew my first garden. A man used to come by and pick up all our grass clippings. I asked him what he was doing with all that. His daughter had a rare disease and needed to eat mostly tomatoes so he found grass clippings gave him the best veggies. I immediately started to use my own clippings and never needed to buy fertilizers. I have never stopped using clippings. You are spot on about everything. Especially about not getting weeds from clippings. Some folks just don't understand that if you only use the grass that has not gone to seed it is ok. Most grass does not go to seed until it is quite long. I never use the first cutting... Fantastic video I subbed and liked I want to see more. I was a Master Gardener for a time and know the value of sharing ideas. Thank you...

Why people bag leaves instead of mulching them is beyond me. I mow my lawn, sidewalk and side laws using my mulching mower and adding to compost. If I need to bag and toss I and mulched 12 bags into only 3. Mulching is the best way to go before bagging or anything else.

Grass tea is great for foliar spray. Throwing down is for root uptake. I believe that both methods have their own benefits. ;)

Excellent tips!!! I never thought of mixing the clippings with leaves and am now figuring out how best to dry my grass clippings. In my climate here in NZ they would probably turn into ensilage if I left them in a plastic bag. I think I'll use what we call a fadge - for storing raw wool from shorn sheep, They breathe and are big enough to be able to fork them over inside the bag. Will experiment. I never watch one of your shows without learning something new, even though I've been gardening for a long time.

Do a High mower clip and leave on lawn to dry a day or two. Lower blade and cut and collect in mower bag. You now have an even mix of wet and dry.

I only use my grassclippings in the compost! I live in a moist and cool climate this means lots of moss in my lawn and its the worst weed i ever had in my garden beds. It even takes a long time to brake down usually beeing the last thing in my pile that can be identificated slow to break down.

Here in the SE USA you have to compost your grass clippings or you will have Bermuda and crab grass in your beds,

The grass clippings really tie the garden together.

Good tip with mixing leaves with grass - super!

[@ScottHead]

Great video. I don't know where'd I be without harvesting my lawn for use in the garden.

[@anidnmeno]

i used grass clippings as fertilizer for my one tomato plant i grew last year. I think it worked, we got tomatoes up into January off it.
