I 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.
