anyone else not a bit surprised when Herrick said "I have a system"?

I mow in a square from outside in blowing the grass towards the center. That way I cut it several times so it breaks down faster. Then it's not hard to rake up and bag it.

Definitely be wary of using straw as a mulch for your vegetable garden. I've killed a few tomatoes with bad straw as well. It's fairly common for commercial straw to have herbicides that affect non-grass plants in them. Sometimes this can be useful, like when seeding a lawn, but it can have terrible effects on non-grass plants you want, like tomatos. That doesn't mean you have to avoid all commercial mulches, though. There are plenty of types of mulch out there with different uses, and the vast majority are safe. For instance, I've used commercially bagged shredded hardwood mulch in flower beds for many years because it breaks down relatively quickly with the help of fungi to increase soil fertility over time, and have never had a problem. The only times I've ever encountered herbicide where it shouldn't be is in that straw I tried, and some cheap potting soil that I can't remember the name of. That being said, your grass mulch is more nutrient dense and will break down very quickly, which can be good and bad, and is one of the most easily available and useful organic gardening ingredients.

Would it be much more easier to have a bager on the mower than to take it ?

Yep. And grass = nitrogen. One of the most necessary fertilizers for productive gardening. 👍

I do the same with grass, here in our Montreal suburbia garden. It is by far my favorite mulch! Question : let say you've harvested more than you need . How would you go about storing the grass for the coming weeks?

I never harvest more than I need. But if I did, I'd pack the extra into big trash bags. I do that with dry, shredded leaves in the fall. Thanks for the comment.

Can you make a video about where to buy good quality shovels and hoes? The ones I have purchased at our local hardware store have been of very poor quality. I don't really know what to look for in these tools, or what price I should expect to pay to aquire quality tools.

How do you store it, or do you always use it right away?
@herrickkimball

I use it right away as a mulch. If I had an excess, I would push it under the plastic around each minibed. It would break down there and feed the microherd. 👍

Do you worry at all about grass and weed seeds getting in your beds?

No. There are weed seeds among the grass, but my Minibeds are heavily mulched. Seeds in the soil are not an issue with heavily mulched beds. The beds have bazillions of weed seeds in them already. Thanks for the question.

It seems like a lot of hard work and sitting there waiting for the grass to dry there are more things to do in the garden than watching grass dry
