Most homeowners quickly realize that their bin or composting system can not handle the entire lawn. The following information will help you better understand how to recycle grass clippings.
The catchy word that describes the whole new movement to educate homeowners about composting and recycling their grass clippings is grasscycling. So, let's start there.

The lawn bike is a simple and easy opportunity for every owner to do something good for the environment. Grasscycling is a responsible environmental practice and an opportunity for all homeowners to reduce their waste. And the best part is that it takes less time and energy to bag and drag this grass on the sidewalk. Like the man in the photo on the left, he could even take his lawn cuts for a bike ride on Sunday; Now, it's the recycling of grass taken to the extreme!
Grasscycling, in short, is to leave grass clippings on the lawn or use them as mulch. Grass clippings contain more than 80% water, so they decompose quickly and naturally release nitrogen and other nutrients into the grass and soil, improving the quality of the grass. Grass clippings add a mulch that saves water and promotes natural soil aeration through earthworms.

Air your lawn In the spring, rent an aerator that removes the carrots from the lawn. This opens the soil and allows more movement of water, fertilizer and air by increasing the decomposition rate of grass clippings and improving the growth of deep roots.
Water carefully if necessary. During the driest period of summer, turf requires at least one inch of water every five to six days.

Does leaving your grass clippings on lawn kill it?
I have observed that if the clippings fall in lumps on the lawn, the lumps will eventually turn live grass underneath brown in color and unable to grow. The clumps seem to occur when the grass is wet or builds up on the underside of the mower and falls on the lawn. I don't see that to be a big problem except that I would rather have the clippings more evenly spread out and disintegrate so it fertilizes the lawn naturally.

Does grass die if there is grass clippings on top on it?
Yes and no. Some modern lawnmowers are designed to 'mulch' the grass. That is, when used without the grass collection box/bag, they chop the clippings very fine and dump them on the lawn as you mow. This, if done every second or third cut, actually helps the lawn by feeding it. The grass needs to be quite short already to do this. If it is too long the mower will continually clog. If you leave heavy grass clippings on you lawn you will prevent light from reaching the grass and therefore stop photosynthesis and the grass under the clippings will die.
