Why mowing contractors do not use mulching mowers
 

we've never collect the clip from the lawn, i always say to people (i
used to mow lawns for a living as well) the best place for the clip is
on the lawn.

for us it has meant no fertilising so no lawn grubs and also our lawns
grow thicker and lusher (without watering) and we also cut them higher
and in dier periods ourt lawn always looks greener longer.

Simple;

1) If people pay you to mow their lawn, they expect to see something for
the $$$ and bags of grass clippings adds to their satisfaction.

2) Some people do not like the fine mulched grass that a mulching mower
leaves behind.

3) You become upgrade to a lawn maintenance consultant and charge more
because you then can add a "lawn fertilising service."

Leaving chopped up grass on your lawn is not a good idea.

Far better to compost the clippings for at least 6 months then put them on the garden.


With peace and brightest of blessings,

I dont really worry about how this stuff works, as long as I dont have to
rake up the grass, or empty the catcher. Nature takes care of the rest.
Unless you are a thoroughly out of reality type gardeners, its not really a
worry. Are you going to enter your lawn in a contest?Stop bickering about
crap.

au contraire - flame wars about mulch mowers are a very important thing!

There's more important stuff than this to worry about.

The problem with that is that you have to put up with Kerry O'Keafe
laugh at his own jokes.

That was actually very funny. But I wonder how many thin-skins and
uneducated morons will not see the funny side. A bit like how they
don't get David Tench.

So if it's so good, how come mowing contractors don't use mulch mowers?

Presumably it's because mowing contractors have a better understanding
of appropriate equipment to use for the job than an aus.tv troll.
Mulching mowers work best on regularly cut or slow growing grass. If
you don't mow during periods of high growth the grass becomes too long
to be efficiently mulched. Mowing contractors are generally brought in
when the grass becomes to long for a mulching mower to work well so
it's more appropriate to collect the clippings.

Isn't it funny how...

I got David Tench once, he was insulting rather than funny so I didn't
bother again.

OK, so we've established that you don't understand Tench, but what we
need to now establish if the reason is because you're a thin-skin, or
because you are an uneducated moron.

Neither, it may be that that particular night he was just particularly
unfunny. He didn't impress me enough to want to tune in again. I don't
find hurling insults funny even if I am the butt of them. I usually
just agree with the hurler and move on.

I agree. There are heaps of Tonight Shows in America, and this just seems
to be another one like them. Sometimes he's funny. But I don't find enough
of it funny to want to watch very much.

But each to their own.
