Why grasscycle?
With no clippings to bag or trash, you can reduce your time and yard waste. (Psst! In 2017 landfills received 8.7 million tons of yard trimmings). Clippings add nutrients and organic matter back to your soil as they break down. Clippings can help add moisture to the soil too. If grasscycling isn’t an option, you can compost clippings or use them as garden mulch.
Do it like a pro in 3 easy steps
Cut only 1/3
Cut only 1/3 of the grass length at a time and keep the mower blade sharp to keep clippings small.
Watch out: Clippings that are too big to break down quickly may block air and sunlight from your lawn.
Mow dry
Mow when the lawn is dry.
Watch out: Wet grass clippings can stick together instead of spreading evenly over the lawn.
Leave the clippings
Just leave the clippings on the lawn. No raking needed. Within a day, they will start to settle to the soil and break down.
Watch out: Skip grasscycling if you have a lot of weeds that have gone to seed, like dandelions, to keep them from spreading.
