Hey I wish some of the trees around here would learn to go dorment in the summer so I could have a bunck of brown to balance out the green! My wife thinks I am nuts when I mow the grass and then dump all the clippings on the driveway and let it bake in the sun for a few days and then run the mower over it to pick it all back up and dump it on my compost pile!

Let me think for a second.

Where do you live? A cool climate where your clippings need to be “baked?” If you’re in a warm climate, this is a waste of time, dear.

Compost requires green stuff AND brown stuff. It also requires a handful of lime (gypsum) and water. What are you
trying to do, here, chief?

I grew up on the back of a golf cart. Every Sunday, for my entire childhood, I went on “the tour.” My dad was a golf course superintendent. Never did I see anyone collect grass clippings, for any reason.
