Relative newbie, here. DH just bought a new mower that allows us to collect grass clippings. I have a MOUNTAIN of clippings! I have heard this can be a good fertilizer, but wonder if it might be "hot" or "burn" plants. Does anyone know?
I'm making a new bed in a clayey area and will be tilling in some amendments. Can I till in a few inches of clippings as well, or should I just dump them on the top after tilling?
A related question. We have asparagus spears growing and got a freeze warning for tonight and tomorrow night. Can I just pile up grass clippings right on top of my tender little spears? Should I leave them there or pull it away after the freeze has passed?
Thanks for your insight and experience.
