I'm tellin ya, LOL ! it just takes the work right out of it. The area in the photos that is clear, just mulch I left for future plantings. Today I'll uncover it and plant mostly greens that will be just right when the rest of the crops are ripe. Might even put in a 2nd crop of cukes, as I really like those daily in the salad.
Dry it like you would quality hay, but if its a little moist and green, its fine. Only reason I don't haul it in wet is that its too heavy on the lawn tractor and sweep, so much easier dry and it does not turn to mush like wet clippings will underfoot.
No weeds to speak of here and its been down 1 month, + it does have a good amount of nitrogen. I've piled it up it near stalks of corn, and those plants were the best in the patch, or that side which seriously lacked in soil quality 2 ears per, forget what type of corn it was, might have been silver queen, was the longest duration in the entire patch as I put that in the back rows so as not to shade the other varieties.
I don't know if when the grass mulch molds, if that causes powder mold on cukes. I just spotted it on the peonies further over in the yard, those I will cut back or spray or something. as its sure to get onto my cuke patch trellised on the fence that keeps the deer out. I could have those all season, but this mold does seem to do them in sometimes. In my opinion, grass mulch is the best weed control I can think of with extra benefits, at least in these parts it is.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
