Just grab a big wad of that, add salt, pepper, and a little ranch dressing and you are good to go. Probably taste about like spinach.
I posted about a mod I made for my unit a good while back where I removed that oversized chute. Added some lexan over that top hole and I am good to go. If I were mowing around a bunch of kids or vehicles I probably would leave it on. Thankfully, only a bunch of slow moving old ladies around the neighborhood.
