I disagree with the others. IMO grass clippings are better than no mulch at all.

I think it depends on how many plants are to be mulched and in my main field the dimentions were 250X 90 ft, and I had usually 10 rows 250 ft long and grew many hundredsof plants and varieties each summer. As well as long rows of melons and potatoes and all kinds of squash, I think you get the picture.

The side garden I referred to was where I grew many different varieties of radishes, carrots, beans, beets, peas, chinese greens, etc,

So there was No way I could mulch all of them.

Just trying to clarify what my circumstanes were when you said that grass clippings are better than no mulch at all.
