I do both, one week I bag it in my rider mower, the next week I mulch it.
For my first year with a sodded lawn, this worked very well by applying the
nitrogen of the mulched blades, the second year had problems, but I dont
attribute that to the mulching or bagging, just other problems. So i'd say
doe it in an on off patern.
