Feed your landscape, not the local landfill
By PAULINE LEWIS
Staff Writer
"Don’t Bag It" is a program which
encourages property owners to let
clippings naturally decompose on
the lawn after cutting and to set up
a compost pile, instead of bagging
grass clippings or dumping them
on the curb for pickup.
During one growing season, a
1,000-square-fooi lawn can produce
up to 500 pounds of grass clippings
representing a needless use of land
fill space, plus time, money and ef
fort to collect the waste.

Composted grass clippings can be
used as fertilizer around shrubbery,
on gardens or flower beds.
Grass recycled on the lawn de
composes rapidly, does not cause
thatch, provides valuable nutrients,
acts to hold moisture around the
roots of grass plants, protecting the
growth from the effects of Georgia's
hot, summer days.
Here are some alternatives to bag

Watering - During the driest pe

lawn before one inch is applied,
turn off the sprinkler, let the water
soak in for one hour, and continue
watering. The best time to water is
early morning.
Mowing - For best results mow
every five to six days instead of
once a week. Generally, do not re
move more than a third of the leaf
surface at any one time.
Fertilizing - The ratio of nutri
ents in the fertilizer, and the rate
and frequency of application affect
how fast grass grows. Fertilize
with a slow-release nitrogen fertil
izer for a slow, even growth.
Following these bits of advice
will create a lawn that is the beauty
spot of your neighborhood.
