LinkedInMowing your Lawn and “Grasscycling”
Mowing habits have a big impact on lawn appearance and health. Improper mowing can lead to thinning, weeds, pests, buildup of debris, and more. Cutting your grass to the right height at the right time can do much to help keep your lawn healthy and beautiful.
UC ANR’s Mowing Your Lawn and “Grasscycling” publication can help you determine how much and how often to cut. Topics include:
- How high to mow?
- When to mow?
- What to do with the clippings?
- Mowing equipment
- Mower safety
- Additional mowing tips
Grasscycling is a form of on-site composting. Clippings are left on the lawn after mowint to decompose instead of being bagged up for disposal.
