Improves Soil Structure
As clippings decompose, they feed a web of soil life—bacteria, fungi, and microarthropods—that builds humus and improves soil texture. Humus-rich soils allow roots of both lawn grasses and garden plants to penetrate easily, accessing water and nutrients more effectively.
I’ve witnessed clay soils transform under a regime of regular grass mulching: what once was heavy and brick-like now crumbles beneath my feet. That’s the power of organic matter reconditioning your ground from the roots up!
