I am definitely using cut grass as mulch everywhere, and have before. We are going to get weed seeds whatever we do, so why worry about a few extra? My least favourite weed seed is docks, that put down a long root so quickly and grow again from scraps - but grass seedlings are easy to deal with.

I used some grass cuttings as a mulch on some of my beds and the few weeds that have made it through the thick mulch are easy to deal with. So I'm plesed with the result and I know lots of people on my site use them, so I'd go for it

I use shredded paper(old letters etc) for the base of my runnerbeans,it doesnt look brilliant but soon rots down.

we use a newspaper collar with grass clippings on to cover the potato mound when it's too high to put more soil on  ;D
