Okay, thank you Mr. Tree.

My main issue is I go through about 40 pounds a month of sunflower seeds for my bird feeders which I've started up again. When I mow the section of lawn under the feeders, it is the only time I put on the clippings bag on the mower to pick up all the husks the birds leave. Which I then compost in the backyard. Had to use the blood meal I normally keep for my roses to get it to go properly.

I use the mulching mode on the mower for the rest of the lawn as I consider lawn clippings a resource, not garbage.
