Home & garden. Is it ok to use lawn gr clippings as mulch in a vegetable garden?
Gr clippings are all I use in my vegetable garden. I add them throughout the summer and they compost in place. My soil is terrific, with very little effort. Just make sure that you don't turn green clippings in to your soil as that depletes available nitrogen. Once they're dry it's fine. I have a very weedy lawn but haven't had much trouble with weeds in the garden at all. Straw does work great too but the years that I used hay I was overrun with clover. Between that and the fact that gr clippings are free it was a clear choice for me!
