Compost Tip

Leave your grass clippings on the lawn! This simple act is called grasscycling and it helps to conserve moisture, while slowly releasing nutrients back into the lawn. Maintaining a grass height of 5 to 7.5 centimetres (2 to 3 inches) will help protect the lawn from hot summer temperatures. If you have to replace your equipment, consider a push mower or a mulching model.

Because 20 per cent of waste going to landfill is from our yards, grasscycling saves landfill space and helps to keep our yards green and healthy.
