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.
What is the part that covers the hole where the grass comes out of the mower?
Mulching plug.
Do they reccommend mulching lawns and how much?
When they recommend mulching lawns, what is usually meant is using a mulching lawn mower. The grass clippings break down and feed the existing grass. The more often the lawn is fed, mulch, the better it will be.
What is the difference between normal mower blades and mulching mower blades?
Regular blades cut the grass and bag it directly into the bag. Mulching blades make the grass stay in the deck for longer and makes the grass fall into the blade several times. Thus it chops it finer and some falls back into the grass.
What are the benefits of a mulching lawn mower?
Mulching grass clippings back into the lawn is actually really good for the grass. It helps to put nutrients back into the soil and it also enriches the overall composition of the soil.
What is a self mulching lawn mower?
It is a lawn mower that is set up so that the grass, once cut off, is chopped finer by the blades before being left behind. The mulch is supposed to be so fine that it drops down between the grass and helps fertilize the lawn, breaking down quickly.
Is a mulching kit necessary for a lawn tractor?
A mulching blade on a lawn mower shreds the grass so that it can easily decompose right on the lawn and nourish the lawn. They say using a mulching blade all mowing season allows you to skip one fertilizer feeding. I've never understood why people prefer to bag up the grass and send it to a landfill. Maybe they don't like dealing with the bits of grass left in the lawn.
Can you operate a grass sweeper or should you hire a professional?
A grass sweeper collects the clippings and lawn remnants behind a lawn mower. It is an attachment that is clipped to the mower. Grass sweepers do not require additional skills.
How do you change from rear bagging mode to mulching on a Craftsman lawn mower?
Remove bag with engine off and cold, when removing bag you will notice an opening that needs to be plugged with plug that came with mower. Usually green squared and plastic. If using mower with out bag and this plug in place grass will bunch up and not properly disperse, leaving clumps of grass on lawn.
Should you have a grass catcher on your mower or let the cut grass stay on grass?
let the cut grass stay on grass This depends a great deal on your philosophy of lawn care. If you have a mulching blade or attachment, it will cut up the grass into small enough pieces that you can leave them on the lawn to sink down to the soil and break down, providing nutrients to the soil. Others prefer the cleaner look of bagging the grass and then fertilizing regularly. This also avoids the build up of thatch in the lawn.
How can I remove old grass?
You can remove old grass with lawn mower. A lawn mower is an important equipment to maintain the beauty of the lawn. The mower is mechanized with revolving blades to cut a lawn at an even length to make it good-looking. All that you need to do to operate this mower is to walk behind the mower and the trimming of grass is taken care by this equipment. Lawn movers assure productivity besides helping the operator to cut the grass irrespective of acres with ease.
Can you change from regular mower blade to mulching mower blade?
yes A regular blade is typically sharpened only near the end with a bend at the tip to increase the airflow. A mulching blade is sharpened from the end towards the middle and has multiple cutting angles which aid in cutting the grass multiple times into smaller pieces. The better mulchers also include a discharge plug which forces the grass to be cut into fine particles. When changing blades always make sure the length is the same and that the mounting holes match the original.
