Is it good not to bag grass clippings and leaves during lawn mowing?

If your using a non-mulching lawn mower? All I care about is a thick and healthy lawn.

1. If you mow often and the clippings are very short, there shouldn't be a problem leaving them on the grass. They will break down and become a source of nitrogen for the grass. If the blade is too long, it can kill the grass. Then it would be better to bag the clippings. Once the grass dies in the fall, leaves can be cut up with a lawn mower and left on the ground as fertilizer or bagged and placed around plants for mulch.
