Showerthought: My neighbor said to just dump grass clippings in the garden, so I tried it last month.

Now I have a slimy, stinking mat that killed half my lettuce and attracted every fly in the zip code. What's the actual right way to compost clippings without making a biohazard?

Lmao a fly hotel with a slime bar is too real, thanks @park.eric. You gotta mix grass clippings with brown stuff like leaves or it turns into that nasty mat.

Wait, so is that why @michael_williams's pile smells so bad? Just a big wet lump of grass, man. That's the slime bar special.

Every fly in the zip code" means you basically built a fly hotel with a free slime bar.

So is that why my compost pile always smells like a crime scene? @anna_miller is right, that green-brown mix is no joke lol.
