Grasscycling
Grasscycling refers to leaving grass clippings on the lawn when mowing. The term is a portmanteau combining "grass" and "recycling", and had come into use by at least 1990 as part of the push to reduce the huge quantities of clippings going into landfills, up to half of some cities' summertime waste flow, as 1,000 square feet of lawn can produce 200 to 500 pounds of clippings a year. Because grass consists largely of water, contains little lignin, and has high nitrogen content, grass clippings easily break down and return to the soil within one to two weeks, acting primarily as a fertilizer supplement and, to a much smaller degree, a mulch. Grasscycling can provide 15 to 20% or more of a lawn's yearly nitrogen requirements. Proponents also note that grasscycling reduces the use of plastic bags for collecting yard waste and reduces trips to the curb or landfill to haul waste. Optimal grasscycle techniques include: ⁕Cutting no more than 1/3 the length of the grass ⁕Cutting when the grass is dry to the touch ⁕Cutting when the height is between 3 and 4 inches ⁕Ensuring that the mower blade is sharp Although a mulching mower can make grass clippings smaller, one is not necessary for grasscycling.
