I am looking to dry some "Tuleo safe" lawn clippings for winter. We have St. Augustine, Burmuda as well as Nut Sedge and some weeds/clover.

Has anyone done this?

Any suggestions on how to do this effectively?

you gotta keep the plant matter from composting. I would spread it out thinly onto screens

Good idea. My husband thinks my idea of baking it in the oven to dry (super low temps) is a wee bit crazy...

I already have a nice big batch of lawn clippings. I'm following the way Turtulas-Len taught in the following thread:

He's very specific on what works and is very kind if you ever need to ask him questions directly.
