Mowing and Grass-cycling
Grass-cycling is the simple practice of letting grass clippings decompose on the lawn after mowing. Want to have a lush lawn AND help the environment? Remove no more than 1/3 of the length of the grass blade when mowing. Cutting to the proper height can reduce weeds by as much as 50%. And leave those grass clippings on the lawn; this recycles nutrients, conserves water, saves time and trash bags! Some tips:
· Mow with sharp blades.
· Mow lawn when dry. After a rainy period, large clumps of grass can be mowed over or raked up and removed.
· Mow on a regular basis. Remember, remove no more than one-third of the leaf blade. During the spring it may be necessary to mow twice a week.
· Mulching mowers hasten the decomposition process but are not necessary. Check availability of mulching "kits" which can be purchased for some models of lawn mowers. Kits include a plate that blocks discharged shoots, forcing clippings back through the blades. Check your lawn mower manual for information.
· Avoid the overuse of fertilizer. For more lawn care tips, visit the MD Cooperative Extension
website.
