I toss the weeds onto the grass and run the lawn mower over them. We
have a shredding lawn mower, no bagging, chops the weeds and grass
trimmings into little bits. Since my daffodil/peony/day lily border and
also the garden is at the back of the yard, no one sees the pulled weeds
except me. I wouldn't leave pulled weeds laying on the front yard. The
so-called soil in our yard is sub-soil, so every bit of chopped weed is
precious! Any weed that is getting ready to bloom is the first to be
pulled. We don't have a compost pile, yet... maybe next year.

When the grass is really growing, I use the bagger - that's only for a few =
weeks during spring-summer.

Just "most"?
I always mulch them...should I be stopping at some point?
