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.

How do you kill grass growing in myrtle?
Mulch is a way to eliminate grass growing in Myrtle-planted areas.Specifically, myrtle (Myrtus communis) grows to a mature height and width of 9.8 feet/3 meters each way. Like other shrubs and trees, it is best off with nothing planted underneath it to the drip line (the furthest that a branch extends on each side). Mulch needs to be layered 1-3 inches/2.54-7/62 centimeters thick. It will even ground temperatures, fight grass and weeds, and retain soil moisture.
Lawn Mulching for Healthy Grass?
A healthy lawn does wonders to improve a home's overall appearance. An even expanse of thriving, vibrant green grass transforms a yard from a mundane bit of ground surrounding a house into an enjoyable environment that will garner compliments from neighbors, friends, and passers-by. Healthy grass is a pleasure to walk and play on, and rugged enough to endure the traffic it will draw. Conflicting advice abounds when it comes to achieving this ideal yard; how much to water in dry times, how much fertilizer to use and what ingredients it should use, whether to fertilize or water at all, and how short to cut the grass. Another debated part of maintenance is lawn mulching. Most agree that mulching is beneficial, but how, when, and how frequently? Lawn mulching serves a number of purposes in maintaining a healthy lawn, but it can be overdone. Too much mulch at a time will kill the grass. In fact, applying a thick layer of mulch such as grass clippings around the bases of trees and shrubs is helpful to them because it kills the grass. This enriches the soil, and holds moisture better for the trees. It is better for the person mowing the lawn because it eliminates tricky maneuvers close to trunks and beneath low-hanging branches. But the lawn itself is better served with a light addition of grass clippings or leaves cut into bits. When the lawn is regularly cut, the recommended amount to trim is the top third of the grass. This leaves enough of the stem to perform photosynthesis, and the length of the cut bits is safe enough to leave lying as mulch. If the grass has been allowed to grow too much, leaving uneven clumps of grass behind - or if the grass was wet when mown, ending in the same result - it should be removed and used for compost, to prevent it leaving dead brown spots in the yard. Lawn mulching is simple, economical, and essential for healthy grass. As the blades are comprised largely of water, the trimmed ends of grass disappear quickly. If you do water your lawn, you should do so after mulching, allowing the mulch to improve the lawn's absorption of water. Lawn mulching also eliminates the need for fertilizing in most cases. It is an organic solution for adding nutrients to the soil without using chemicals and without waste.
