why?????
mixed right grass cutting as long as it has no crap in it is fantastic for composts and turns out to be a great soil for plants.
its a complete waste to throw grass cuttings away. |

I don't have a lawn. My garden is paved. So if i found grass cuttings in my garden, they must of come from next door. |

so what do you do with yours? |
Do you want some of ours? We have loads of lawn but no other plants yet, so the compost bin turns to smelly mushy goo.

Eat them! 
No, serious, I have a brown bin that I put them in and the council takes it away. |

We'll probably have to get a brown bin.
Why is it that we put our green waste in a brown bin and our normal waste in a green bin? Bristol was much more sensible.
Black bin for normal waste
Green bin for "green" (hence the colour....) waste.
Is Wiltshire a bit behind the curve? |

would be glad of them in the summer.if you do only have grass cuttings it will turn in to like slime.it has to have a good mix of stuff to make good compost. |

| Cos we have a new house, we haven't done anything with the garden yet, so have no "brown" green waste to balance out the "green" green waste, so the compost bin has indeed turned to slime. One day I'll open it up and add in some cardboard to redress the balance. |
