Why is mowing high good for my lawn?
Mowing your lawn higher is better for your lawn, making it healthier and helping it grow. These are the benefits.
When mowing, less means more
Mowing at a taller height promotes root growth and improved drought tolerance, which in turn, means using less chemicals on your lawn. In fact, if you combine mowing high with modest applications of fertilizer, and watering during dry periods, you may not need to use any pesticides on your lawn. Start slow and establish a healthy lawn. Mow high and water during dry spells for at least one year before tapering off the pesticide applications.
Mowing when wet, is it good?
Whether or not to mow on saturated soils or just letting it ride until the soil is dry. Mowing your lawn while turf is still wet may cause more damage than good.
