Instead of sending all those grass clipping to your local landfill, install a mulching blade on your mower (or ask your yard service to do so) and leave the clippings on the lawn. As they decompose, they add valuable organic matter to the soil. And, contrary to popular belief, it won’t cause a buildup of thatch – primarily caused by over fertilizing.
About Growing 2 Shine
Being an avid gardener, born and raised in Indiana, I feel incredible blessed to live in sunny California & be able to grow my own food all year-round! I write a monthly garden column for the San Jose Mercury News & am constantly striving for tips & ideas on how to live a little more gently in regards to ourselves, our planet & each other – basically sustainability we can live with! As a fulltime realtor here in the Bay Area, I help my clients “Go Green” in & around their homes & communities.
