You can leave these clippings right on the lawn. However, if the clippings are long enough to mash down the grass or shade it, they should be removed. Here is another lawn tip. Don't mow when the grass is wet or when the ground is wet enough that mowing would compact the soil or uproot the grass. This is especially important for recently planted grass.
New grass is shallow rooted, and the soil is likely to be soft.
The mower might easily pull the young plants right out of the ground. Recently planted grass should be irrigated during dry weather. Generally, however, fescue does not need to be watered during the summer. Co ntact Us Copyright 1996-2001 WSAZ and its content providers. Material from this site may not be reproduced in any form.
