I am using grass clipping in areas I don't want grass to grow. I don't want anything there, at least for now. I am assuming after there is nothing trying to grow up through, I can pull the decaying clippings off, put in what I do want there, then put in wood chips or dried grass clippings to keep any more grass that may try to grow up from roots I am hoping I have destroyed.
I am putting the grass clippings down pretty thick.
Will the ground under the decaying clippings be uninhabitable for flowers once the clippings are off ?

what about using the grass clippings for the months of april/may only (in sonoma county, this is beyond the frost window)…to keep the soil warm while tomatoes are seedlings?

It's hard to say without knowing what you have used on the lawn. If you are concerned, try removing them as much as possible, otherwise just avoid lumping too much uncomposted material at one time in the garden.

I have already used some fresh clean grass clippings on my garden. Have I made a bad mistake
