Imagine a residential house with some grass, bushes/hedges, plants, etc.
About 2-4 times a month, the yard needs to be mowed, pruned, trimmed, etc. and all these yard trimming waste are put in a green bin to be collected by the trash company weekly.
Why can’t you just scatter the yard trimming throughout your landscape and letting it decompose? Cause eventually it’ll become nutrients for your plants, so I consider it a win-win (nutrients for your plants, and no need for trash truck to go around weekly).
The only scenario I can think of are:
1. The yard trimmings might decompose slower than the plants/grass growing rate. So eventually there’ll be an overabundance of yard trimmings.
2. Wind – some areas may be windy where it’ll blow the yard trimmings to neighboring properties.
Would it be bad/harmful practice to start leaving yard trimmings throughout your yard?

Some of us do leave the mulched grass clippings and leaves on our yards year round. My lawn may not look as nice as the green carpet some of the neighbors have, but look at which lawn attracts more animals and birds.
