Default Novice question about grass clippings

Hello,

I moved into a new home in Omaha, NE last month. The home
came with a fair-sized lawn, approx 10,000 sq ft. The
grass (Kentucky blue) was not mowed for about 10 days when
we moved in. One of my neighbors advised me to mulch the
grass while I was mowing the first few times. I did that
twice over the last two weeks. But since then patches of mulched
grass are scattered all over the lawn, making it look
quite unattractive. It has been raining regularly over
the last few weeks and the grass is quite green otherwise.
How do I remove those grass clippings? Is hand picking an
option or should I use the blower/vac? Any advice would be
greatly appreciated.


The most common way to remove grass clipping from a lawn is with a rake. If
that is too much work, then I would do what the other poster recommended and
mow over them several times until they dissipate. Even a mulching mower
will leave clumps if the grass is too high or it is wet when you mow.
