Bagging VS Mulching
Which one is right for you? It's a question asked by many homeowners – should I bag or mulch? Well, the answer actually depends on what you’re trying to accomplish with your lawn.

Collecting your grass clippings serves many purposes for both the appearance and the health of your lawn. To quickly pick-up debris, such as sticks, leaves and grass clippings and keep a uniform appearance during the thick of growing season, bagging is definitely the solution. If you’re rehabbing your yard, you’ll want to bag the clippings so as not to disperse weed seeds or any diseased clippings. At the end of the season, using a bagger can really help make fall leaf cleanup a breeze. Additionally, if you compost, bagging your grass clippings offers easy access to a great source of compostable material. |

Much like bagging, mulching your grass clippings can serve to improve your lawn’s appearance.
Mulch mowing allows clippings to be cut finely enough so that they can’t be seen when redistributed into the lawn which returns nitrogen-rich nutrients to your lawn. This feeds your lawn and can reduce the amount of fertilizer you need. The MulchControl™ System from John Deere is the easy way to mulch while you mow. This exclusive technology is available with One-Touch Technology on the John Deere X350 Select Series Riding Lawn Tractor with a 42-in or 48-in Accel Deep™ Mower Deck and other Select Series mowers.
MulchControl™ Kits, with the pull-of-a-lever technology, are available on S240 Riding Mowers with Accel Deep™ Mower Decks, Select Series Mowers, Signature Series Mowers, and all Residential ZTrak™ Mowers.
All MulchControl™ Kits from John Deere include mulching blades for best grass mulching results.
A few tips:
- Follow the “one-third” rule when mulch mowing, taking no more off than the top third of the grass blade. Fast-growing conditions will warrant more frequent mowing.
- Mulching works better when the grass is dry.
- If tall or wet grass conditions result in unsightly clumps, your MulchControl™ System should be used in side-discharge mode.
- If conditions warrant using your MulchControl™ System in side-discharge mode, clippings are likely to be visible for a few days as they decay.
- Make sure your blades are sharp. Sharp blades help ensure a precise, quality cut (bring your blades in today to get them sharpened!)

John Deere Named to The Civic 50 — Again!
Over the past year, John Deere employees gave back in record-breaking numbers for community giving and volunteerism.
And once again, their efforts are being recognized. For the third consecutive year John Deere has been named to The Civic 50, an annual honor recognizing the 50 most community-minded US companies.
Deere was also awarded a gold medal this year after ranking second overall for its investments. The ranking analyzes how extensively and strategically Deere applied its resources to community engagement in the U.S., including employee time and skills, cash, investments, in-kind giving, and leadership.
The award is administered by Points of Light, the world’s largest nonprofit dedicated to accelerating people-powered change. The Civic 50 has become a national standard for corporate citizenship and showcases how companies are leading through social impact and civic engagement.
“On behalf of the company and all our employees, I want to thank Points of Light for this exciting honor,” said Mara Downing, president of the John Deere Foundation. “This recognition is a testament to our strong belief in trust-based philanthropy and unrestricted giving, demonstrating our commitment to helping end hunger and building stronger communities.”
Our 2023 accomplishments include:
- Contributed $74.5 million to nonprofit organizations in our home communities (a new record for us), and up from $55.5 million the previous year.
- Volunteered over 260,000 hours to community service (also a new record), up almost 100,000 hours from 2022.
- Announced three multi-year grants totaling $19 million aimed at eliminating hunger by increasing access to food.
- Mentored over 113,000 students in 8 countries through the John Deere Inspire School program. Employee mentors volunteered nearly 70,000 hours.
“Expectations for companies to be leaders in civic engagement continue to increase,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO, Points of Light. “John Deere demonstrates how to maximize the full range of their assets – from people power to policy to financial contributions – to meet pressing needs and create thriving communities where they live and work. We’re thrilled to uplift and celebrate them as an honoree of The Civic 50 2024.”
