Blow grass clippings back into your lawn after mowing
How does this action
help our Lagoon?
Grass clippings, when left on the street, sidewalks and driveways, are picked up by stormwater runoff during rain events and washed down storm drains, either clogging the system or ending up in the lagoon. Once in the lagoon, grass clippings begin to decay and contribute the accumulation of muck. Muck causes algae and phytoplankton blooms, which block sunlight to seagrasses, and consume oxygen needed for fish to survive.
Another reason to blow grass clippings back into your yard is that they serve as a natural, beneficial lawn supplement—meaning less money to spend on fertilizer and less time to apply it!
