What should I do with my grass clippings? (Mulching)

Blowing your grass clippings back into the lawn rather than bagging them is actually helpful for your grass. This returns nutrients to the soil as the clippings decompose, reducing the need to fertilize. This practice has been termed "grasscycling."

One option is to cut your grass with a mulching blade. Mulch consists of grass clippings and leaf debris chopped by the mower and left to decompose on the lawn.
