What happens to the grass cuttings

This time of year sees the grass growing faster than ever, however what happens to all the the cuttings.

Are they simply thrown into the skip or are they re-used in some way

The answer is they are re-used. When the grass is cut they are stored in the mulching area alongside the compound and are then collected by the allotment holders to use as mulch

Do you notice that both Ian and Mick in the photos have different methods. Mick looks more casual with a lower grip while Ian pushes the handle down.

Just for fun - True or False - is Mick getting the lighter coloured cut and Ian through pushing downwards obtaining the darker line cuts?


The answer is false
