Rough clipping estimate

Blade removed1.00 in

Loose volume per 1,000 ft²14.1 gal

Total loose volume70.6 gal

Nitrogen returned if clippings stay0.21 lb / 1,000 ft²

Rough estimate. Actual clipping yield can vary two- to three-fold with species, density, season and fertility. The nitrogen figure is not a fertilizer-budget credit.
