Mulching or bagging your lawn clippings

When mowing your lawn you have two basic options on how you want to do it. Those two options are that you can either “mulch” the grass or you can bag the grass. There are reasons for doing both types of these cuts. The first reason for mulching your glass clippings and not bagging them is the most popular reason; and that reason is because it is cheaper and easier. By cheaper, I mean that you don’t have to worry about buying decomposable lawn bags to put the clipping in. And there are many reasons why it is easier. You don’t have to fight around with the lawn mower bag and the decomposable lawn bag trying to transfer the grass from one bag to the next. The positive aspect of mulching your lawn is that when the grass clippings are cut to a fine enough size they don’t just lay on top of the other grass, but rather fall down on top of the soil and act as a fertilizer. Many people decided to bag their lawns when the grass grows exceptionally fast. The reason for bagging in when it grows fast is because the blades of grass will be longer than normal and will not be cut up finely enough to act as fertilizer but rather just sit on top of the other grass not doing any good for the lawn and also decreasing the attractiveness of your lawn. A positive aspect of bagging you lawn is that you can use those grass clippings for a fertilizer in your gardens. You can spread the grass around the different types of plants you have and this will decompose and help feed the plants and also keep the moister in while doing so.
