Title: Leave Those Clippings On The Lawn
Summary: Leaving grass clippings on the lawn to decompose back into the soil is a good way to recycle essential
nutrients and water back to the turf. Studies demonstrate that clippings return nearly one-third of the
fertilizer applied, as well as small amounts of essential micronutrients; because grass is 70 percent water,
leaving clippings as they’re cut helps reduce the need for irrigation.
