How to store lawn clippings over a long time?

Q. I have an interesting idea, but it would require storing grass over at least a 3 week period. It cant ferment or rot or decompose, it has to remain pretty much the same, but it can be dried.
A large amount, as cheaply as possible.

A. The only way you could store lawn clippings for a few weeks without them starting to decompose, is to thoroughly dry them out, then store in hessian bags - loosely packed - so that air can circulate freely.

Lawn clippings decompose very quickly, so air circulation even with dry clippings is important. Without it, they will start to decompose.

If you do store your clippings for any length of time, make sure you do it away from your house. They generate (aside from smell) an enormous amount of heat as they break down and can actually combust (catch fire).
