Thank you, Costa! This is defintely something to look into. I have 1/4 acre of fast growing grass and too much of it!

Hello from Canada, we have been doing this for many years at my house just with dandelions thistles and yarrow 😊

Pro tip: Don't use a watering can to fill up a bin ;)

[djdnauk]

you can also squeeze it out once in a while, then out it back in to help it break down faster

Be mindful if your mower seaps fuel or oil at all..

[mynismsc]

Just make sure your pillow case is made of friendly fibres

U aussiess..always pleasantly surprised😊

Do we use the tea as it is or does it need to be diluted before going onto our plants?

[riav]

This is going to be a wonderful idea for me because I have a backyard full of Kikuyu, which is the bane of my existence🤦‍♀️, so making a ‘tea’ from it will be sooo good for my plants.
Thankyou so much Costa for such an ingenious idea.
Actually, I’m growing Comfrey so I will make tea from that too👏👏👏

Obviously, use cotton pillow cases to reduce the chances of introducing microplastics to your garden.

Why not just throw some leaves with it and turn into compost?

[eyemanbish]

A real beauty who cannot be resisted by any lady.

Must be a bastard checking that beard ever morning for huntsmen spiders! I had problems with pine-martens once. 😊 👍

[Soggz]

Been doing this for decades in Britain, but we don’t use grass, we use Horse Manure. Hessian bags are better, by the way…
All the best.😉👍🏾🇬🇧🌱

[harenterberge]

or throw it on a compost heap and wait a bit.

[onamission]

I wonder how many people will actually drink it instead of watering the garden 😂

[chrismckell]

I used to do this with weeds prunings and a little grass though I used a stockingette bags ( like butchers use when freezing a lamb ) it worked well but lacking a lid had lots of mozzies.

[talltrees]

What about the fumes from the lawn mower/ride on?

[m.macdog]

As someone who can't stand the smell of cut grass( can't breathe with it ) this short is horrific 😂. Love ya Costa 💗

When I mow, I just throw all my lawn clippings straight into the nearest the national park.
