I've got a border with various shrubs and a few vegatables growing. Thing is I have no bark chippings etc or anything else that will supress weeds and possibly add some nutrition. Not wishing to go to the expense (2 long borders) or hassle of wheeling barrows around/through the house just yet, I was wondering if I could use grass clippings and scarified moss etc from my lawn. I have 2 bag fulls each fortnight and rather then leaving it for the green collection, I could just spread it straight onto the borders. I reckon I would have them done after a few months.
How long will it take for the grass to decompose?
Will it smell?
will it get blow away if dry, turn to sludge if wet?
will it actually add any nutition?
Am I being cheap and should just get a lot of bark chippings?
thanks folks
