Grass clippings for organic fertilization of the lawn

With the rising costs of traditional commercial fertilizers in the financial and environmental sense, many people are looking for greener alternatives that also save them some money. Previously overlooked as a source of fertilizer, grass clippings are now seen as a free source of nutrients.

To use them as fertilizer you only need to leave them on the lawn after mowing. When left on the lawn, they eventually decompose and then release nutrients back to the ground. Studies show that short grass clippings, measuring half an inch or less, can reduce up to 40% of lawn fertilization costs. Some advocates even claim that leaving grass clippings on the lawn for a full year equals one year of fertilizer application.

Another benefit is that grass clippings will help prevent moisture loss and help keep roots fresher. You can also consider the savings you get in terms of the time you would have spent collecting all the clippings and packing them. Using them as fertilizer will also lessen the impact of the amount of garbage being sent to landfills.

When grass clippings are used in lawn fertilization, one of the questions people ask is whether there is a danger of the grass choking on the grass clippings. You don't need to worry about this if the cutouts are short, preferably less than an inch long. Short clippings will decompose quickly and will not choke grass. Therefore, make sure your lawn mower is well maintained and has sharp blades at all times. Another option is to use a lawn mower with mulching functions so that the clippings become fine pieces while mowing.

Easy, simple and cheap, fertilizing your lawn with grass clippings can be just what your lawn needs.
