No, blades of grass do not grow grass.
Grass seed grows grass.

Clippings no. Grass gone to seed No. Grass seed must stay on stalk all season to produce viable seed. Weeds I am afraid so!

stolons of grass can make grass if you're talking warm-season grasses

i get customers blaming me for their weeds. i tell them we blow the beds every week, so it doesn't look horrible. but weeds are not related to clippings

what was the wager, a case of ol' mik???:cool:

Oh to the many reasons I always mulch when I can. They can't blame me for being too cheap to keep up their beds. It saves a lot of blowing too!

mulching or bagging is the only way to go. I can understand why side-discharging is the way to go if you only have big areas, but mulching is nice on everything else. I tried the side discharge thing and didn't have very much luck at it. So, buy a mulch kit and all your problems will be solved!!
