GrassCycling
Instead of
bagging your grass clippings, try leaving clippings on the lawn, or
GrassCycling.
The secret to a beautiful lawn is out of the bag!
It is estimated that U.S. households generate 15
million tons of grass clippings annually. These grass clippings are bagged
and shipped off to landfills taking up unnecessary space. Boulder County
has a 50% waste diversion goal by 2005 and one of the ways that you can
help meet that goal is by GrassCycling.
GrassCycling is the practice of leaving grass
clippings on the lawn when you mow. Not only does GrassCycling save
landfill space but it also benefits both you and your lawn. When you leave
the clippings on your lawn you are returning valuable nutrients to the
soil as well as sheltering the grass roots from the harsh glare of the
Colorado sun. With GrassCycling you avoid raking, bagging and disposing of
your grass clippings so you save up to 38% of your time spent on lawn care
as well as reducing your trash fees. Since grass clippings are 75% water
you also have the added bonus of saving on your water bill. Simply put,
GrassCycling is good for the environment, good for your lawn and good for
you. next
