grass clippings as a mulch

[vegypete]

my plot was also cover in brambles docks bindweed ect ,i just coverd it in a 1ft layer of grass clippings , i have an unlimited supply, now it is a tilth worthy of planting in to with no weeds hardly coming through, but i will put a 2inch layer of manure on first to feed the soil ready for next spring, grass clippings do smell a bit and go mushy but cover the weeds deep enough and leave it to the worms,it does the job
