  • Wet grass cilppings..

    I know using grass cilppings as a mulch is good but does it matter if its a bit silmerly?? I forgot I had them and just used some on my parsnips bed to help with watering etc. Now Im worried its going to kill them off!!! Thank's.

        Regular little layers shouldn't get hot - or use only dried grass clippings.

          Yep, I have grass clippings round the onions but make sure you remove any dandilions......apparently they still seed even when cut.........

            They do! They're evil little monster weeds. Cut them bright yellow and the seeds will ripen.

              Thanks for the warning about the dandelions - must be a self preservation thing. I always thought the flowers were OK!

                        Must admit, I didn't think about the dandelions when using grass as a mulch. I often use it to earth up potatoes.

                          Same here.

                          If any do grow I can always havest them for SHMBO as they have several health benefits.

                            Looks more useful as a health supplement than being intended for a "decoration for garden or room"
