Grass Cuttings for Compost

What to do with old grass cuttings?

You can bag them and let them turn into a stinking rotten mass to be taken to the tip.  You can fill up the recycle bin.

Or you can get into composting.

Grass and shrub cuttings, shredded newspaper and cardboard - composting is an art and hobby. Greens and browns - that's the secret.

It is the easiest way to get rid of the grass cuttings and it feels like giving something natural back to nature.

Joke

Visitor to an English country house.  Says to host "How do you get a lawn like that?"
Host replies "Well, you feed it and weed it, roll it and rake it, mow it and..."
Visitor butts in "I'm going to get one"
Host continues "... and you do that for three hundred years"

No Mow May

No Mow May is when people take a whole month off from lawn-mowing.  This allows the grass and other wild plants to grow tall and produce pollen for hungry bees emerging from their winter sleep.

Ecologically sound AND lazy at the same time - it sounds like a win.  On the downside, recovering the lawn may take the rest of the summer.

Weeding the Lawn

The trouble with a neatly manicured lawns is weeds show up really well.

You can go the rewilding route.  Stop cutting the lawn, let the weeds grow and enjoy nature coming back into the garden.  In a year or so you may have no lawn at all.

You can use chemical methods of control.  Seems the opposite of what gardening is about, nature and all that stuff.

Or you can spot weed every time the damn things appear.  Remember the saying "one years seed seven years weed" and use it as motivation for this task.

Thanks for helping.
