5.5.7.3. USE CUTTINGS AS MULCH
-
Grass cuttings can also be used as mulch. For this, spread them at a thickness of 2 to 3 cm around your vegetable
patches (tomatoes, aubergines, beans, etc.), on bare ground around your plants, or at the foot of trees and shrubs.
Note
This mulching limits evaporation during dry periods and will save on watering.
5.5.7.4. TURN CUTTINGS INTO ASH
-
You can also burn the waste to recover ashes that are rich in potassium. They can then be used around plants
or spread on your lawn.
Note
French regulations regarding burning green waste
A circular was sent to Prefects in France on 18 November 2011 recalling the legal basis for the prohibition
of burning green waste in the open air. It covers both private individuals and professionals working in green
spaces who must eliminate their waste through mulching on-site, by taking it to a waste center or by direct
recycling.
Only the Prefect may authorise a derogation to this rule when suggested by the health authority and after
consultation with the regional health and technological and environmental authority (CODERST).
