  If you leave them all in place they all turn into free mulch and compost anyway. And you avoid using the fossil fuels to power the mower you don’t need in the first place.

    I have a battery powered mower and utility has done a pretty good job of incorporating renewables into their mix

    That’s probably the least efficient way to mulch that stuff, don’t just leave it out like that

    Ah, should we all be using the push powered ones, then, cuz those are fucking terrible. Not having grass is nice for those who don’t live where it’s a legal requirement, but that’s out for many people, and you do have to cut it or you’ll get a different law visit instead

  Go to a farm, ask for stall muckings…free compost.

    You will want to be sure to sift them a little, as there will be a lot of stones in them, in my experience.

      Stones shouldn’t be an issue for plants though, they’re normal in nature.
