When my brother mows his lawn, he takes the grass clippings and puts them around the plants in the garden. He has a beautiful garden every year and his plants produce lots of vegetables.

Grass clippings are great as long as their not full of seeds. Its all about natural stuff that God provides.

I shred our junk mail and paper instead of throwing it out. I mix the shredded paper with my grass clippings, kitchen scraps and a little water, cover it with a tarp. 4 days later I mix it with the Mantis tiller and cove it back up for another 10 days. It is now rich compost mulch and I use it to keep weeds down and fertilize the soil around my established plants. Works great. I have pick in my photo bucket link in a previous post of the compost project, with temps to show how hot and fast this process really is. You only need a small 3x3 spot to do it. I keep 2 or 3 piles going through the season. I even take my neighbors grass clippings. I don't use any pesticides or weed n feed on the lawn cause that may cause some issues in the garden and produce

Hey! You Roys have some good ideas! I hope I can do some planting this year! It's going to be 80 degrees for the next couple of days!

Hey, aren't you worried about the ink in the junk mail paper, Roy ::)
I haven't put any lime in my veggie garden for years. Blood and bone, or some other nitrogen fertilizer makes my veggies grow big. My short sightedness has improved ::) :o since I've increased my carrot consumption ;D
