To Bag or Not to Bag
Is bagging the lawn when mowing simply an aesthetic point of view? I bag
each time I mow the lawn, but even with a walk behind mower 12,000 square feet tends to make the job a lot longer bagging. Are there disadvantages to not bagging? Gene |

I dont have a mulcher mower and if I dont bag and leave the cut grass on the
lawn , I get dead spots where the grass clippings suffocate the living grass plants. Gene Moon wrote: Is bagging the lawn when mowing simply an aesthetic point of view?

Leaving the clippings returns nutrients to the soil. With a good
mulching mower and cutting before the grass gets too long, the amount of material left that is visible is small. Plus, there is the convenience. If you don't have a mulcher, you will have the problem the previous poster pointed out. And forget about those blades that are sold to try to make a regular mower into a mulcher. I tried them and they don't work. I have a dual blade Honda Harmony and it does a superb job. The only other consideration is mulchers tend not to work well for areas that are sparse. There they tend to wack the grass around and not cut it smoothly. Die Spammer wrote in message ...
