Grass it's all in the mind

I was listening to Big Bob Flowered on GQT a couple of weeks ago and rather than seeing his grass as an unproductive painful chore.  He sees it as a source of valuable mulching material.  I have always thought the lawn a pain and at best it's been unkempt for several years.

So I decided that my lawn at home is now to be considered as a useful source of grass clippings for mulching in the summer rather than compost material.  So I scarified and put some holes in it and fed it with a bit of growmore.  As soon as I had completed that task it dutifully start to rain to wash it all in.  Excellent.

Felt quite virtuous and motivated by this revelation

My birds get mine. The chooks eat it and the ducks rummage, then make a sunbathing spot on top of it 

Also, mowings are great for mulching between spud rows!

I used to have an electric scarifier, but it just tore out everything there was, so we rather like seeing the mixture of moss, daisies, 'Mind your own business', and of course, grass, with just a few weeds...

We use a simple hand mower for the paths down at 'The Patch', and it's great exercise!

i don't want to go off topic but do you find you get more foliage growth than tubers if you mulch potato rows? i tried mulching my potato's with rabbit muck last year (maybe went a little over the top) and found i had this problem. or does grass cuttings not add as much nutrients as rabbit muck?
