Grass clippings are excellent mulch, I use them all the time. Any weeds that sprout up in the mulch can be easily removed. I just leave them on top of the mulch and they dry up and become part of the mulch. Grass clippings are high in Nitrogen, so they are good fertilizer too.

Reply:Grass clippings are great for mulch. You don't need to wait for them to dry. I use clippings around many plants and bushes, but not too close to the stems. At the end of the season you can just turn it into the soil and let it compost into better soil for the next season.
Reply:Yes but if there are any weed seed, they may come up so be on the lookout for them. make sure that the grass clippings are dry as if really damp the heat generated by them can damage the plants
Reply:Keep the clippings away from the trunks of bushes or trees as it can cause rot. As for the others, don't know
