Grass Mulch Between Rows Boosts Soil Health in Garden Trials
Ohio State University reports growing grass between crop rows can replace cultivation, keep soil loose, improve aeration, and reduce maintenance. Chewing’s fescue thrives under plant shade, dies in fall, and yields comparable production at lower cost. Other mulches include rye grass, manure, straw, peat moss, and even newspapers or lawn clippings. Tomatoes favor lawn clipping mulch for moisture retention and weed suppression.
