Grasscycling… wow! Awesome!!!!

Grasscycle!!!!!

You know at times i always wondered if the clippings from mowing your lawn would damage it if they were left there. I was reading some articles on Grasscycling, which it’s recycling the clippings of the grass. How do you do that? It’s simple. You cut your lawn the way you should and give it the care that you should, and you leave the clippings on your lawn. Obviously it decomposes, and it gives your lawn nutrients. By doing this, you also eliminate the usage of bags thrown in the landfill. yard waste makes about 15% of all garbage.  According to another article I read, they have been doing this obvioulsy in public places like parks  and schools, where the grass areas are extremely large to be mowing and collecting the clippings.

If you want to learn more on Grasscycling you can call 1-800-CA-WASTE and ask them for a grass cycling brochure.  You can also check out  http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/
