Ever wonder what grasscycling is?
I didn't, but I did find out that golf courses, school districts, parks, commercial landscapers and city landscape crews are doing it!
All it entails is leaving grass clippings on your lawn. It's really the best way to use your clippings as grass clippings contain nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, which are the same nutrients that fertilizers provide. This approach helps to build your topsoil, reduces water demand and reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers!
When doing this it's recommended:
- That you use a mulching blade on your mower
- Mow your grass high
- Cut when dry
- Water after cutting
It's great for the environment and really helps your lawn!
I see our gardners grasscycling all the time and didn't know it! Thanks for the enlightenment, Ana!
