'Don't Bag It' The Grasscycling Trend
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.
