Lawn Mulching Tips | ||||
Follow these simple steps, to produce beautiful mulching results: |
|
 |
Follow the "one-third" rule. Never cut more than the top third of the grass. |
 |
Leave grass about half an inch longer than you would normally if you were discharging or collecting the clippings. |
 |
Keep your mower blades sharp. Mulching tends to dull blades faster than other methods of mowing. Sharpen them more often, if necessary. |
 |
Water the lawn after mulching, not before. Dry clippings disperse more easily than moist ones. Watering after the lawn has been mulched helps clippings settle better and speeds up decomposition. |
 |
Reduce fertiliser usage. The clippings you give back to the lawn return nitrogen and other nutrients to the soil, you may not need to use any artificial fertilisers. |
 |
Use the correct cutter blades. Don't be fooled by after market "mulching" blades. Only the proper combination of air flow, chamber design and blades will produce optimum mulching results. |
