Using Your Mulcher (Optional)

Mulching mowers use a specially designed blade to chop the grass clippings extra fine and then blow them back down into the lawn. The small clippings decompose quickly becoming a natural fertilizer that returns much of the needed nutrients to the soil. Continuous mulching means continuous free natural fertilization, no messy clippings to worry about ever again and the end result for you is a much greener healthier lawn.
