MULCHING TIPS

Mulching finely cuts the grass so that the grass can be easily recycled. Because the nutrients are returned to the soil, the lawn will need less fertilizer. To correctly mulch the lawn, follow the tips below.

SThe grass must be dry. If the grass is wet, it will be difficult to cut and cause heavy clumps of grass.

SThe grass must not be too tall. The maxi- mum height to effectively cut is 4 1/2 in- ches. Set the height adjusters so that only the top third of the grass is cut.

SIf the grass is more than 4 1/2 inches high, two mowings will be necessary. For the first mowing, set the height adjusters in the highest position. Then, lower the height ad- justers for the second mowing.

SKeep a sharp edge on the blade. A blade that is not sharp will cause the ends of the grass to become brown.

SClean the underside of the mower housing. Grass and other debris can keep the mow- er from working correctly.

If the quality of cut is marginal, try the following:

SSet the height adjusters at a higher cutting height.

SCut the grass more frequently.

SOperate the mower at a slower ground speed.

SOverlap the cutting swaths instead of cut- ting a full swath with each pass.

SMow across the marginal areas a second time.
