When and how often to mow
The time of day and condition of the grass greatly affect the
results you’ll get when mowing. For the best results, follow
these guidelines:
• Mow when the grass is 7,5-12,5 cm (3-5 inches) tall.
• Mow with sharp blades. Short clippings of grass 2,5 cm
(1 inch) or shorter decompose more quickly than longer
blades. Sharp mower blades cut grass cleanly and efficiently,
preventing frayed edges which harm the grass.
• Mow at time of day when the grass is cool and dry. Late
afternoon or early evening often provide these ideal mowing
conditions.
• Avoid mowing after rain or even heavy dew, and never
mulch when the grass is wet (moist grass does not mulch
well, and clumps beneath the mower deck).
