A dull mower blade will "tear" the grass instead of "cut" it. The jagged blades of grass will dry up and cause your lawn to look brownish or even yellowish - much like when cut grass clippings turn from green to brown/yellow as they dry up.

Get More Use Out Of Push Lawn Mowers ?
If your push lawn mower is not working as well as it used to work, you might be thinking about replacing it. Before you purchase a new push lawn mower, check your current mower's blade. Over time, lawn mower blades grow dull and no longer cut grass as effectively. If you take your lawn mower blade to a hardware store that offers a blade sharpening service, you can usually get the blade resharpened for a small fee. With a newly sharpened blade, your old lawn mower could be working just like new.

What is deck cleanout on a lawn mower?
The deck on a lawn mower is the shaped metal shroud that keeps the spinning blade(s) from being exposed to the user during operation. Many manufactures use the shape of the deck to create a mild vacuum that draws the blades of grass up toward the mower blade(s). After mowing the lawn, some grass will be stuck on the underside of the deck. If the lawn is somewhat long and wet, the grass will build up on the inner surface of the deck to a point where only the blade(s) have clearance. This stops the deck shape from performing its designed function. Deck cleanout is performed while the mower is NOT running. Turn the mower on its side and scrape the excess grass from out of the underside of the deck.
Is it bad to leave lawn clippings on you're grass your husband and you argue over this all the time?
I actually leave the clippings, but I have a mulching blade on my mower which cuts up the grass a little finer that non-mulching blades. If you have a mulching blade and leave the grass cuttings they just decompose but if not and you leave too much, it could cause some issues, more thatch, etc.
Can one cut the grass in the rain?
1. It depends on the lawn mower, if its a ride on you shouldn't because you can make tyre marks on the grass. 2. you secondly shouldn't because the mower blade doesn't function as well when its wet, because the mower blade can just bend the blade of grass and your lawn won't look as good as it would if it was cut dry.
