Those mowers are rotary mowers designed to keep the clippings circulating under the mower deck so the grass blades will be chopped into finer pieces. Heavy applications of soluble nitrogen fertilizer in early to mid-spring will produce a large flush of growth. Nitrogen sources used for home lawns should contain at least 33 percent water-insoluble nitrogen. That's what a partially insoluble lawn fertilizer is. Remember also, frequent light watering encourages shallow rooting and germination of weed seeds.
Excess water saturates the soil and results in damage to the roots.
Occasionally, periods of prolonged rainfall make mowing difficult or impossible. The clumps of grass can be remowed after drying to facilitate dispersal.
