Just came in from the allotment feeling very proud as have finally weeded, fed and thoroughly mulched our massive raspberry bed. The whole thing has taken me ages.
As I was putting the tools away in the shed I noticed the bag of lawn 'weed, feed and moss kill' on the side, which clearly says that you shouldn't use the first 4 lawn mowings as a mulch, and that they first mowings are only safe to use after being composted for 6 months.
Well, I've just bloody mulched the raspberries from the pile of grass clippings from our treated lawn, which includes the first 4 mowings, and the most recent lot has only been rotting down for 3 weeks max. How bad is this? Do I need to rush out now and rake the whole lot off the raspberries beds? (Did I mention that they are massive?)
I could kill DH because I did specifically ask whether the grass clippings would be OK to use and he said 'yes'.
