There are actually things you can do with your grass clippings (Page 3 ) | January 27, 2024
Annonce:
Some of your livestock can be fed grass clippings as a supplement to their diet. Rabbits, goats, chickens, cattle and sheep will benefit from the additional nitrogen boost. According to Farm Show, silage made from grass clippings has a higher protein content and digestible matter percentage than hay.
7. Use as a natural dye
While it may sound somewhat crazy, you can actually take grass clippings and use them to make a natural dye. This dye can then be used to color Easter eggs or even to dye fabrics.
8. Recycle them
Similar to cardboard, plastic and glass, your grass clippings can be recycled as well. Many municipalities or recycling centers have programs in place to dispose of your grass clippings in a green manner. Often these entities have their own compost piles and use the grass as a green source in the piles.
9. Attract wildlife to your yard
If you want to help feed the local wildlife and encourage these fascinating creatures to come to your yard so you can watch them, put your glass clippings in a pile that’s easily accessible to deer and other wildlife. Just make sure you’re prepared to have them munch on other flowers and garden plants too, unless preventative measures are put in place.
