Mowing
Clipping the Grass
Mowing should be done on a regular basis. When grass reaches 3 inches in height, remove one inch. If grass is maintained at this length, a grass catcher is not needed, and clippings can remain to build the soil profiles. Lawns clipped too short have weak, poorly developed roots, which encourage weeds. Higher clipping provides more leaf surface to support a healthy root system.
