Composting grass clippings
Article Abstract:
The effects of air, water and soil from composting grass clippings with other yard wastes were studied in several laboratories in Massachussettes. Results of the study show that successful composting of grass in open windrows depends on appropriate materials, mix ratios, composting methodology and equipment coupled with good site design and maintenance measures. Knowledge of leaf composting, adequate buffer zones, bulking agent, labor and equipment during grass season will facilitate grass clippings composting.
