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.

I am in Mississippi. Why is it a waste of time if I have no browns to add to the greens? Or does this not count as a brown?

When grass clippings are all you have, that is what you use!

Hi all,

Anyone who is familiar with the climate here in Nashville, TN-zone 6-I need some advice. Never grown carrots. Do you think it is too late to start carrots? Can they be started in trays or should they be started in the ground?
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
