"The grass clippings left behind by a mulching mower essentially
function as a lawn fertilizer, as if you were applying compost to the
lawn.

Compost gets to very high temperatures, that's another reason compost/grass
clippings should be composted first.

As for fertilising, like someone else said, dead organic matter takes
nutrients *out* of the soil until it's properly composted.

We're not talking about compost or grass clippings tho. The mulch
produced by mulching mowers is extremely fine. It doesn't need composting.

Look who's backpedalling now.

Not backpedalling at all dickhead. In any case, I'm only stating the
consensus on the matter. I don't claim to be any sort of expert.

It doesn't matter how fine it is, it is still bad for the lawn.

Only says you. Provide some proof.

Besides, if you cut 1 inch off your grass, the
mulching mower will at best produce two (2) equal half inch pieces of
grass.

Really? Since when did mulching become an exact science? Have you even
ever used a mulching mower?

I know it's not an exact science. That's why I said "at best". In
futurer, it'd be swell if you read what is typed, and not what you
THINK is typed.

I read the nonsense that you typed. If you'd actually ever USED a
mulching mower, you'd know that the grass is suspended in the mulching
chamber by the updraft airflow of the blade design, and cut many times
over, until it's too small to be kept afloat, and falls into the lawn.


And we won't even go off on a tangent about how the lawn will
then require dethatching every few months if you do this - otherwise
you are going to have to mow your "lawn" higher and higher each time.


LOL! Never used a mulching mower have you.


Of course I haven't.

I rest my case.


I don't need to own one of those battery powered automatic vacuum
cleaners to know they are no good.

They are good for various purposes, depending on the make.

Same thing with mulching mowers.


As I said earlier, they should be banned.

But you're an idiot.

Ask
the next mowing contractor you see and he'll tell you why he doesn't
use them either.

I will.

EOD.


Is "EOD" the on-line equivilant of putting your fingers in your ears
and shouting "la la la" when you realise you have lost an argument?


No. It's simply reaching the conclusion that you're a waste of space,
and it's a waste of time talking to/trying to have a sensible discussion
with you. But then you are a troll. I should remember that.

But then again, your argument was filled with wonders like "But you're
an idiot" wasn't it,

Filled? Hardly.

so it wasn't really a contest.


No it wasn't. My mistake in treating a fool as rational. Can I have
those myriad links supporting your contentions again please?
