3. MOWING AND MULCHING RECOMMENDATIONS
MULCHING
Mulching cuts grass clippings and fallen leaves into fine particles that fall through the
turf and decompose quickly. This returns nutrients to the soil and reduces the need for
raking, bagging, and disposal.
For best mulching results, mow the lawn frequently, cutting off less than one inch of
grass each time. In growing season you will probably need to mow the lawn twice a
week.
Heavy layers
of leaves may be difficult to mulch. For best results, switch to bagging.
Bagged leaves make a good addition to a backyard compost pile.
This mulching kit closes the discharge port in the mower deck which recirculates grass
clippings through the special mulching blades. Periodically cleaning the accumulated
grass clippings from the mower deck and tractor before using will help promote clipping
recirculation.
