Mowing

 

Stay Sharp - Have your lawnmower blades sharpened every year.  Sharp blades prevent grass from tearing and becoming susceptible to disease. 

Mow High - Set your mower blade to high so the grass is left tall enough (5 to 6 cm or 3”) to crowd out weeds and conserve soil moisture. 

Leave it On the Lawn - Leave grass clippings on the lawn after mowing.  They're a great nutrient source for the grass  (providing up to 1/3 of the lawn's nitrogen needs over the growing season) and doing so does NOT cause thatch.
