Grasscycling is the natural practice of leaving clippings on the lawn when mowing. Would you like to reduce your lawn maintenance chores? Lawn maintenance can be a lot of work. Going to the trouble of bagging your grass clippings takes extra time and energy. The larger the lawn, the more clippings and the more work. Then, after collection, all of those clippings usually are hauled to the landfill. So grasscycling can save time, money and other resources like landfill space. The clippings are 80-85 percent water and quickly decompose, returning nutrients to the soil. Proper turf management, in conjunction with the practice of grasscycling, can reduce water and fertilizer requirements, mowing time, and disposal costs.
