About Bagging Lawn Clippings
The question of what to do with a client’s lawn clippings after mowing is one that can arise, especially due to certain misconceptions. Some customers may believe bagging is necessary because they’ve seen mowers with bagger attachments, they’re concerned leaving grass clippings will cause thatch buildup, or they just don’t like the appearance of the grass left behind.
In the vast majority of cases, mulching lawn clippings and leaving them on the lawn is the encouraged and better option. Leaving grass clippings behind has multiple benefits. They contain 80 to 85% water and break down quickly. Grass clippings also encourage earthworms and microorganisms that maintain healthy grass and soil.
According to the University of Missouri Extension, clippings left on a lawn can supply up to 25% of its total fertilizer needs.
Educate your clients on the fact that choosing to mulch lawn clippings does not cause thatch. It is vigorous grass varieties, excessive nitrogen fertilization, infrequent mowing and low soil oxygen levels that contribute to thatch.
Also, explain to clients that proper mowing techniques will not leave behind the large clumps they have in mind. Only mowing when the grass is wet or excessively tall will the clippings mat together and not be evenly distributed.
Additionally, you can offer clients savings by not having to charge for the additional labor of bagging grass clippings and dealing with dumping fees with the leftover waste.
