[QUOTE="hayray, post: 631999, member: 3046"] Well I think feeding as you mentioned has its place trying to find alternative feed source for free. You will be ok feeding fresh clippings, not any composted or heating. Piled feed like silage is packed and preserved to prevent the excessive rotting and mold spore formation. I beleive the grass in a very young stage is really low in protein and really high in sugars and energy - need to look this up, if this is the case then you could easily add some protein. Give it a try and see how it works. I guess I would worry about all the junk that gets sprayed on lawns in urban areas. On agricultural crops the sprays and fertilizers have either withdrawl times and are safe for food crops. [/QUOTE]
