- This is late spring / early summer here. Grass is growing fast. I
mow my lawn every week. Do I mow not often enough? I hope not because
I don't have time to mow more than once a week.


Most of the time, Once a week is good. But, what you might want to do, is
hit it once in mid week to solve the problem of the grass being to long. A
good healthy cut will solve a lot of problems.


- The weather is kind of wet around here in this time of the year.
Although I have waited for a dry day to mow the lawn, the grass
clippings are still kind of wet. Does the fact that the grass is kind
of wet prevents the mulching blade from doing its job? Does the fact
that the grass is kind of wet prevents the grass clippings from
dropping onto the soil instead of laying on top of the grass? If this
is the case, I may have to bag the grass clippings instead of leaving
them on the lawn when the grass is wet.

When you mulch, you need the grass as dry as possible. If its not, no
biggy....but, this is I bet three quarters of your problem....wet grass.
Will cause clumping, grass to lay down, etc....almost all the problems that
you mentioned. To solve....cut slower......or, cut in differant directions
next time. When this happens to me (grass laying down), I buzz with the
rider going at high speed later in the day....
