I produce too much grass cutting for a simple composter. How can I recycle these cutting within the garden?
I have a half acre lawn and grow a variety of root vegitables.
COuld you not let the grass clippings fall back onto the lawn. It's great for the lawn and gets rid of your disposal problem

as long as you have not used any weedkiller such as evergreen on your lawn, you can use the cuttings as a mulch round the base of any border plants you may have.

My German Uncle, loved to garden. He used the grass cuttings, and added shredded up newspaper(black print only) mixed in the garden dirt, and made a mound with them around each vegetable/plant he grew. They kept the moisture in and also make a good weed deterrent. One of many tips I learned from him.

Grass has lots of nitrogen. Dig it into the ground

That's big, my recommendation is to get a mulching mower. Collect what you need for your garden (and remeber grass is high in nitrogen). Then let the rest feed your lawn.

In future don`t cut the grass,
Scatter Beer over the grass, instead…..then it comes up half cut,
already

I have the same 'opportunity'. The compost pile just can digest as many grass clippings as get generated off the 4 acres I mow. I have used them to keep weeds down around vegetables and flowers but still have an excess amount. I have piled them into shallow piles as they come out of my lawn rake to allow them to begin to break down. After all plants are out of the garden, I plan to incorporate them into the garden and flower beds with a tiller this fall. Kind of a short cycled compost material.
Good luck with yours.

buy yourself a MULCHER mower, so much easier to use and great for the lawns…..

Grass shouldn't go into a composter anyway – it doesn't product compost but something else.
We stack it around the bottom of trees, that helps keep a nice circle of soil around the tree and decays gradually.
You should only need to collect for the first few cuts each year if you have a mulching dekc on your mower. After that the mulching deck on your mower will chop it up finely enough to leave it on the lawn. If its a pedestrian mower I think you might have to collect all year.
