Use a thin layer of fresh grass clippings for mulching without the risk of odor or rot. Thicker layers of dried clippings are ideal for vegetable beds and garden paths, combating mud and weeds. Even late-season clippings enrich soil with nitrogen, especially when mixed with carbon-rich materials.

This principle suits various garden styles, from informal cottage gardens to more structured townhouse arrangements, enhancing the garden’s connection with its surroundings and architecture.
