I haven't bagged grass clippings in over 20 years, don't bag leaves either as I just mow them over leaving ALL clippings into the yard. Key is to not let things get away so the clippings smoother the grass below. At times I'll even mow 2X in a day: cut once let clippings dry then mow again to disperse clippings. I mow med/high.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I've been cutting to about 3" and bagging lately. I was shocked at how much stuff winds up in the bag. I have a tiny yard to mow, 30 minutes flat for a mow and wack, I get over two bushels of clippings every time.

still bagging, and like BBJ..amazed at what it picks up..got a grass dump out back, stuff don't break down too fast, that's for sure.
weeds are noticeably less this year, at the higher setting.

after a couple hours of cutting and clipping, the deck and something cold is always in order...and time to go get some more firewood is in order too.. all set for this winter...but a good time to plan for the one after.

So.. Saltheart... how is your experiment working out for you?
