Grass Clippings

[/b/]

I'm about to mow my lawn, and I wanted to know if I placed a few grass clippings on top of my soil around my seedling if it would benefit it in anyway as time passes?

In theory it should in time be compost, and therefore usefull. However, I think it will rot, bring unhealthy bacteria, fungus and more trouble than benefits..... Hold on to the nutes

Well, you know when you mow your lawn and a couple of weeks later your grass clippings turn brown?
I think that's what might happen to them, so I put them on there.
If I see any sign of them growing fungus or something I'll remove them immediately and spray some diluted bleach around where I put the clippings.

Grass is high in nitrogen, but unless your making compost I wouldn't be adding it to any plant that is currently growing.

No! No! No! Don't do that! Your lawn has soooo many bugs, and potential funguses, bacterias, molds! I don't even go into my grow area period after I mow the lawn. Keep them separated.

weigh the good vs the bad.

imo more bad than good is likely.

If you want compost...make a compost pile. Then when it's ready...it'll be useful.

so high in nitrogen in fact that fresh clippings will nute burn your plants just like fresh guano

then yhe grass well eat up sum of the nutes. it all won't go strait to your plant... not a good idea

p.s. Bleach and plants don't mix. Diluted or not. They make nutrients to save you from having to do this stuff. Buy something nitrogen rich, and if you do decide to do this, DO NOT use diluted bleach! Ferti-lome, Safer Garden, and tons of other companies make things to deal with the problems you are most likely going to encounter.

Well when I saw something about nute burn I went outside and took those clippings off, all is well now.
