Not if left on the yard. It dries out into hay and clumps up. The clumps kill the grass they're laying on and eventually kill the yard.

- bluGill 5y agoNo they don't. They decompose in a couple weeks and then the grass - which went dormant but is still alive) comes back.
- cptskippy 5y agoI maintained lawns in Georgia for almost 20 years. During that time I went through a couple bouts of depression where I couldn't be bothered to bag the clippings and was just mowing to appease the HOA. I can tell you with 100% certainty that in Georgia in summer, Bermuda and St. Augustine grass clippings do not decompose "in a couple weeks" time and do in fact kill the grass underneath.
- HeyLaughingBoy 5y agoMust be a region-specific thing. I've been a homeowner in MN for 20+ years and have never bagged grass clippings.
