My mower can be set up to bag, mulch, side discharge. I do
not think it does a good job as a mulcher??

I think the answer is, it depends. If the mower is
specifically
designed to be used as a mulcher, then in my experience,
it will
likely do a pretty good to very good job of cutting. If
you're
talking about just putting a mulching blade on a mower
that wasn't
designed to be a mulcher, then my experience has been that
it does a
poor job of giving a good cut. Worst performance is in
thin/sparse
grass, where it can tend to whack the grass over, instead
of cleanly
cutting it.

I originally had concerns about mulch acting like thatch
buildup, but
so far the mulch seems to break down into compost whereas
thatch just
lays there. Guess it has to do with the size of the cut
pieces.
