Best thing to do with clippings. Keep them on after mowing or rake them and compost?
Thanks

If you be a young man/woman, rake them for exercise, compost and cancel the gym membership. As you become older your old body will tell you when to begin leaving them on the lawn and to renew your gym membership with a young female trainer.:laughing:

Mulch your lawn. If mulched correctly, the clippings can provide your lawn with 25 percent of your lawns total nutritional needs for the year. Grass is 80% water, mulched up grass returns 4 percent nitrogen, 2 percent potassium and 1 percent phosphorus back into the lawn, great for the soil.

I also mulch as much as I can and I've noticed a difference between mulching and bagging which is what I used to do all the time.
