Hello, i have an 1/2 acre garden which i will be cutting again very soon. I have no means of getting rid of the first couple of cuts & have relied on my neighbour to get rid of the grass this past 2 years. I can them mulch the garden pretty much for the summer but again in october it's that time again where i have to bag the grass again & use my refuse bin to get rid of it.
Any tips/suggestions would be grateful.

Thanks

You could just not collect the cuttings. This will be a bit messy for the first cut but after a couple of cuts will be fine. The county councils in Dublin cut all the grass in the housing estates and parks and none of them collect the grass cuttings.
