2. If using grass clippings and applying to plants else where (flower beds, banana mats), then eventually one has to apply fertilizer or manure to his yard to make up for the NPK being removed.


But yes .... when one fertilizes the yard each year, then reusing the grass clippings else where is like getting a 2nd use of the fertilizer already bought.
Oh, I understand now! Sounds like an awful lot of work! However, it totally makes sense now! Yeah I’m not so sure I’ll go this route! Well, maybe! I guess if I already have a lot to do come spring I guess I could add a few more things on the to do list! Thanks so much for all your help so far! Yes your advice has come in handy several times! Wonderful!
