lawn clippings as mulch

[cherrycoop]

Sorry I know this has been covered but I cannot locate the thread! Is it OK to use fresh lawn clippings as a mulch on potatoes and around the base of young apple trees?

Lawn clippings are a very good mulch for almost anything good weed supressant when used at least three inches deep.

If your lawn has been treated with a weedkiller then don't use the next couple of cuts for mulching round young plants.

Many thanks for your advise - have mulched accordingly - clippings taken from our organic community allotment.
