4 ways to reuse grass clippings in your garden – they are a powerhouse of nutrients and the secret to healthier plants and a more verdant lawn

Hedges and lawn with stripes in garden.

Did you know you can reuse grass clippings in your garden? Not only does this save you from trips to the tip to dispose of them, but reusing grass clippings in your garden can also bring excellent benefits to your plants and lawn.

Grass clippings are high in nitrogen. When you reuse grass clippings on your lawn or in your garden, they decompose and release nutrients into the soil, where it is absorbed by the plants. Nitrogen encourages leaf growth and supports healthier plants and a more verdant lawn. It is a key component in many commercial plant feeds, so reusing this natural source rather than purchasing it will also save you money – a great budget gardening idea.
