I saw a report in (I think) the Caithness Courier this week about the council's practice of dumping grass clippings at the side of the football pitch. One of the council officials said that it was "environmentally-friendly" and acting like a compost heap on site. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought grass clippings had to be mixed with other material in order for it to compost properly? If it is just dumped as is, it sits there like a heap of slime, killing anything underneath it. I've used it myself in this way to kill off patches of weeds.
