Lawn care

The nutritional value of lawn cuttings.

Lawn cuttings are ideal for covering vegetable patches or flowerbeds, or as a ground covering under hedges, bushes and trees. Spread loosely, they help keep the soil moist and roots cool during hot weather, protect against erosion, improve the soil quality and provide valuable organically bound nutrients. Lawn cuttings prevent weeds and form a protective layer for soil organisms. For composting, they should be mixed with leaves and shredded material, as larger quantities soon begin to ferment and then smell unpleasant.

Vital nutrients:

Nitrogen (N):
promotes growth and the green colour
Phosphor (P):
strengthens the roots and is an energy carrier
Potassium (K):
makes plants more resistant to dryness, cold and diseases
