How to Properly Mow the Lawn

Mowing one’s lawn has somewhat become an art of sorts.
While others may choose to simply mow their way along the
grass and disregard what happens, properly mowing the lawn
is important especially in keeping the grass and the ground
healthy.

Want some tips on how to do that? Well here are some of
them.

1. Before mowing your lawn, remove rocks and sticks that
may get in the way. Doing this prevents the materials from
getting hurled by the mower.

It is something that could be fatal and therefore should be
avoided.

2. Keep your lawn healthy by not cutting the grass too
short. In general, leave about a half of an inch of grass
sticking out of the ground.

Anything shorter could kill your grass and destroy your
lawn.

3. If you find the activity of mowing your lawn as
something therapeutic, try not to be overeager about it.

You actually don’t have to cut the grass every week; just
cut it when the grass begins to look too unkempt. Give you
grass time to grow and they surely will grow healthy.

4. Don’t throw the cut grass away. While it may seem that
it helps in keeping your lawn looking neat and tidy, you
should keep it on top of the grass.

Once the cut grass decomposes, it will act as mulch or a
fertilizer for your lawn.

5. Finally, try to keep your mowing pattern as varied as
possible everytime you do this activity. It keeps the
growth of your grass straight. Not all gardeners agree on
this aspect, though.
