Recycling Bermuda Grass Clippings: Best Practices

Mulch‑Mow for Free Fertilizer

The easiest, most beneficial method: mow more frequently with a mulching mower and leave clippings on the lawn. They return nitrogen, shade the soil, and disappear quickly.

If You Must Bag

• Apply a thin layer (½ inch) as mulch under trees and shrubs.
• Layer with leaves in a compost pile for rich, balanced compost.

Avoid thick mats that can mat down and repel water.
