Cut It And Leave It! - Leave the Grass Clippings on Your Lawn After Mowing

From Environmental Commission
Want a healthier lawn and a greener planet? It’s as easy as cutting the grass - and leaving the clippings behind! To properly maintain your lawn keep it at a length of 2.5-3.5” high to keep the soil shaded from the sun and keep the roots cool. And leave the clippings… and save money in lawn supplies and fertilizers! So next time you mow, cut it and leave it!

• Clippings quickly decompose and add nutrients to your soil
• Let nature do the recycling and reduce municipal waste
• Use the clippings in your garden to fertilize the soil and preserve moisture
• Don’t worry… clippings don’t cause Thatch which is the result of an over-fertilized lawn
