Can I put grass clippings and leaves in to this as well?

Grass clippings I would say no. The clippings would heat up the compost too much for the worms. Leaves on the other hand I have added with no problems, they are a nice brown to add to the worm factory and the worms seem to really like them.

You can put a few grass clippings and leaves, but only equal portions and not a lot.

Hello! I assume so! They're green and brown! Super for making compost! I would think worms like to eat my greens and grass is just that. Shredded leaves and small cut up things are best! Please read "Worms Eat My Garbage". Happy Farming! Love. Peace. Gratitude. Kindness. Christina

I don't see why not, as long as there is no oil or chemicals on the clippings or leaves.

I have never tried that but I guess you could. I don't know how small your lawn is.. I wouldn't want to put too much green grass in it as it might heat but dried leaves would probably work

I suppose you could, but you would need to put some dirt on it first. That negates the purpose of the weed barrier (to stop things from growing) because anything could grow with the grass on top then.

Yes. I have used this to trim around my porch & shrubbery. I have Bermuda and centipede grass in my yard. Turn the blades to the sideways position for runners. It works great.

No it's very big and you wouldn't have enough to compost, it needs allot of grass clippings to really decompose and work. Find one smaller

Sure, I trim around pavers all the time. There are 3 attachments for various jobs. Of course you are bending over but you can definetly trim grass.

the grass is propelled towards the operator and to the left .... most of it goes into the grass "catcher" that you should probably have attached....that way you can use the cut grass for composting. Compared to weed whacking, for example, having cut grass fall on your feet , if it overshoots the 'catcher', isn't going to be a problem

Technically yes u can do it all in there....but u will run into space problems and will only be able to do one plant....get the bigger 6x6x8 ft....and u can at least get one really nice big bush in there......

I've never used mine that way but I would say yes you could lay it down on the ground and blow leaves directly into it

I have had the best results with small, green branches and the least with grass-like plants and larger branches or dry ones. I usually end up with a pile of mulch where I have to separate the longer, stringy pieces from that which I can really use for mulching around the garden. I burn what I can't use ( maybe 15%.) You could bag it and put it in the trash. This unit will take care of a good part of our waste with the rest that's too big going to the landfill.

I wouldn't see why not, the discharge material, although smaller in size, still flows in the same direction and velocity when using the normal blades. Although, I would have to ask why you would want to use a mulching blade and then collect the clippings. The purpose behind the mulching process is to eliminate the need for bagging and utilize the smaller discharge as a nutrient source. Different strokes, but if you are going to bag I would use the regular blades.

Sure you can! We didn't have solid space just grass so we didn't. If we have patio space we probably put on there. It does make for an easy time emptying the water right on to the grass and soil.

It should, that's why I am using it instead of grass. (No mowing yay!) It will be a little delicate when it first starts to grow, but once it gets going it should be fine. Here is a link with more info for uses: http://www.stepables.com/5/Sagina_subulata_Irish_Moss.html

I don't. I'm careful to layer the material I put in it. After a few days of kitchen scraps and weeds, I add a couple shovels-full of old dead leaves. I aerate it by poking from the top with a metal rod once in a while.

Mine came with a mulching insert. I believe the all do. You could probably get away with out it but the grass clippings will get stuck in the area that the mulching insert occupies. I have never used the bagger. I always mulch. Good Luck!

I would think you could do that.....you can pretty much make whatever you want with a couple of these things. Oh yes, extra bracing might be needed depending on the weight of your "plants".

Yes it does that very well. leaves and grass get pulled in very easily. you can even vacuum cut grass over gravel, the gravel is to heavy but it pulls leaves and grass up. cleaning up grass was what I used mine for the most.

No problem with the leaves. Grass clippings can be used to keep weeds down, but they also contain seeds. I usually combine them into a mulch pile and let the rot together, then use them later as mulch.
