To achieve a lush, green lawn, mastering effective mowing techniques is crucial. Start by ensuring your mower blades are sharp, as dull blades can tear grass rather than cut it cleanly. This can lead to a brown appearance and increase the risk of disease.
Consider leaving grass clippings on the lawn after mowing. They can decompose and return nutrients to the soil, promoting a healthier lawn. However, avoid leaving clumps of clippings, as they can smother the grass beneath.
