The
"Don't Bag It" grasscycling
program – leaving clippings
on the lawn after mowing –
not only reduces the growing
problem of limited landfill
space, it provides many
benefits for you and your
lawn. Lawn Doctor of
Irwin-Greensburg recommends
the natural recycling
process of leaving grass
clippings on the lawn.
Consistent with the
recommendations of the
"Don't Bag It" program, our
Lawn Doctor Care Program is
especially designed to avoid
the kind of
over-fertilization that
causes excessive top growth
at the expense of root
development. Slow release
nitrogen in our fertilizer
formulas gives your lawn
steady, but not excessive,
growth, resulting in a rich,
green color.
Reasons to Grasscycle
1.
IMPROVED LAWN QUALITY.
Decaying grass clippings
release valuable nutrients
which improve the soil and
feed the grass plants.
Grasscycling helps you enjoy
a greener, healthier lawn.
2. CLIPPINGS DO NOT CAUSE
THATCH. Thatch is caused
by a build-up of roots. It
has been found that
returning clippings
contributes less than a
sixteenth of an inch to the
thatch layer each year.
3. GRASSCYCLING IS AN
ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE
PRACTICE. Turf grasses
cool and clean our
environment, protect soils
and groundwater, absorb
noise, and convert carbon
dioxide to oxygen, all while
providing beautiful and
superior areas for
recreation. Landscape waste,
including grass clippings,
accounts for almost 20% of
all curbside waste.
Grasscycling provides an
environmentally important
opportunity for you to
participate in reducing
landfill volume.
