Mulching
Mulching
In the mulching mode, the grass
clippings are recirculated in the
airstream, re-cut several times into small
particles and then blown back onto the
lawn. The fine particles remain on the
lawn surface where they decompose
quickly and serve as a natural fertilizer.
Frequent mulching contributes to a
beautiful, dense lawn. One third of the
grass height should be cut in this
process.
It is advisable to mulch at least twice a
week in spring and at least once a week
in summer/autumn.
For effective mulching:
Only cut dry grass
–
Use properly sharpened blades
–
Reduce mowing speed
–
Vary mowing direction and overlap
–
the cuts
Mow very high grass in gradual
–
stages
The underside of the mower deck can
become clogged and block the blade if
the cutting height is too low or the grass
is wet.
Conversion for Mulching
The mulch insert must be in place when
mulching.
