Do you bag your lawn clippings or just side discharge it onto the grass?
Any logic to either or? |
| Not for years. Keep the blade sharp, and there's no need for a do-over. Sometimes I go cross grain on the second cut- makes the lawn look like a baseball outfield. I do think the clippings help out the grass a bit, and only the tiniest bit ever washes into the gutter. |

Quoted:
I usually bag the first couple cuttings of the season, then I get lazy and say fuck it and mulch for the rest of the summer. I'm not a huge lawn snob though. That's pretty much me. As I have gotten older as long as long I keep the yard mowed/trimmed that good enough for me and the sammich-maker. I have better things to do than obsess over a yard. To be honest I think the yard looks better if you don't use the grass catcher or even mulch all the time, especially in the dry months. That's usually reserved for Spring and then the Fall leaf attacks. |

Quoted: If your baggng you are wasting good organic fertilizer. Mulched clipping are good fr the soil and your grass will appreciate it. This assumes you cut your lawn at a reasonable interval and don't leave piles of clippings everywhere that choke out he grass |
