Far from an expert, but if someone cutting my lawn directed the discharge grass into my flower beds, I would not be happy. I've found that I use my mower as a mulcher, and the clippings seem to disappear. Grass decomposes very quickly, and the clippings contain useful nutrients. I guess some will argue that too much causes thatch, but I've never had that problem. BUT I AM NOT AN EXPERT....CAN ONLY RELAY MY EXPERIENCE.
