Clippings are not harmful if your mower spreads them uniformly, and if they are not so thick they shade the grass below. Clippings can aid the grass by returning nutrients back to the soil, reducing fertilizer requirements; they do not cause thatch problems. However, removing clippings when heavy disease is affecting the grass may help prevent further spread of the disease.
