You can grow grass longer in stress areas, such as shade and dry, sunny slopes. It is important to have a sharp mower. Dull blades fray the leaf tips, turning them brown. Dull mowers also take more power and fuel to operate. When you cut grass at the proper height, return the clippings to the lawn.
Clippings help return nutrients.
Clippings returned to the lawn will recycle the fertilizer you may have applied. For more information, contact your local Extension office. All rights reserved.
