Using Grass Cuttings

[espookid]

Hi
My neighbour says that when he cuts his grass he can use them as a mulch as long as he places them within forty minutes ,as then they don't rob the soil of
Nitrogen .So my question is can I use fresh grass cuttings in my greenhouse now ,I have turned the soil for winter so they would be laid on now and turned in before the winter and then in the spring I will turn the soil again and plant

I understood that they are only valuable for leaving on as a mulch if one cut very regularly and so the bits cut were very small. Otherwise it's not a good idea.

Whilst I do not know the answer to your question I'd suspect if the grass was cut into small enough pieces then you could use it. But best wait for the experts.

Other opinions may differ but personally I wouldn't use them without composting them first.
Mixed up with worm casts and tree leaves etc, the grass clippings will make a good compost if turned regularly and wont rob the soil of nitrogen.
