keeping the garden looking immaculate.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to promote proper growth and ensure your grass remains healthy, it pays to take the time and learn to mow the right way.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might seem easy on the surface\u2026<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grab the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/homendgarden.com\/best-cordless-lawn-mower-reviews\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mower<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and then finish things up with a string trimmer for a neat look.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s hardly rocket science, there are some quick and easy ways to maximize your efforts in the garden so read on for some actionable tips on mowing your lawn the right way.<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fail_to_Plan_Plan_to_Fail\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s well worth taking a few moments to plot your best course of action when blitzing the garden.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve got 2 main options:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trim the edges first so the clippings will be nicely mulched when you mow<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mow first so you can reduce the amount of time you\u2019ll need to spend edging<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whichever method seems best for you, stick with it. Don\u2019t mix and match approaches. This will waste time and dilute the effect.<\/span><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pixabay.com\/photo\/2013\/10\/07\/12\/29\/rush-191941_960_720.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Safety_First\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Safety First<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve decided on your plan of attack, you should pay close attention to mowing safely.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear long pants and tuck your top in. Avoid open-toed footwear. Also make sure you sidestep any overly loose clothing and remove your jewelry.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give the garden a once-over and make sure there are no rogue tools or random objects in your cutting path.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As long as you\u2019re confident operating your mower, you\u2019re ready to roll.<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_The_Mower_Setting_as_High_as_Possible\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Keep The Mower Setting as High as Possible<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The height setting on your mower should be regulated in line with the type of grass in your garden.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within these limits, though, keep it at the upper end of the suggested height range.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you mow, attack only the upper third of the grass. While this might lead to more frequent mowing, it\u2019s a worthwhile long-term strategy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you disregard this advice and scalp the lawn, the root system of your grass weakens. Also, since the grass then needs to place its energy into regrowing blades, the root situation worsens further. The added insult of cutting your grass too close is that it will become much more prone to weeds.<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_Mowing_Wet_Grass\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Avoid Mowing Wet Grass<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The optimum time to mow your lawn is on a dry evening.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the morning, dew on the lawn makes it too wet to be effectively mowed even if it hasn\u2019t been raining. Try to mow in the middle of the day and the temperature is likely to strain your grass and the mower.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wet clippings not only cause a blockage in your mower, if you fail to remove them they can end up bringing about spotting on your lawn or even smother the healthy, growing grass.<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Haste_Less_Speed\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>More Haste, Less Speed<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The truth of this old maxim becomes apparent if you try to shave off a few minutes by rushing through with the mower.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take your time. Look at mowing as a therapeutic activity rather than a tiresome chore. Focus on the end result and this will be less than impressive if you view mowing your lawn like a race.<\/span><\/p><p><iframe width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I6LpBszQJfk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tall grass in particular needs a more sustained assault.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking to leave plenty of unmulched clippings behind you and a shoddy finish, rush away. If, on the hand, you want a spotless lawn ideal for relaxing on with your BBQ, take your time and it will repay the effort.<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Look_Into_The_Distance_While_Mowing\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Look Into The Distance While Mowing<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A schoolboy error when mowing is to focus your full attention on the ground directly beneath you.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, look 10 or 15 feet ahead of you as you cut the grass. This will help you maintain a straighter line and it\u2019s also a great safety mechanism if any foreign objects escaped your initial sweep and are still hiding in the grass.<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Obsess_Over_a_Mowing_Schedule\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Don\u2019t Obsess Over a Mowing Schedule<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many variables that dictate when it\u2019s best to mow your lawn.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The type of grass, the season, growing conditions and growth pattern are all instrumental.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your driving concern should be to mow your lawn when it needs mowing not to break out the mower because it\u2019s Sunday.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the spring, for example, you\u2019ll want to mow much more frequently than after the end of the growing season.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a rough benchmark, twice a week in spring works well. In the summer or after the growing season, this can be dialed back to weekly or even bi-weekly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be flexible and your grass will thank you.<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leave_Clippings_on_The_Lawn\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Leave Clippings on The Lawn<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you bag your grass clippings, you\u2019ll certainly limit the amount of rogue debris that gets dragged back inside your house.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the flipside, you\u2019ll be depriving your lawn of some precious nutrients.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you leave the clippings on the lawn, they\u2019ll break down extremely swiftly. This is an added incentive to mow regularly so there won\u2019t be too many clippings each time anyway.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our advice is to save yourself some effort and give your lawn a shot of beneficial nutrients in by allowing the clippings to settle rather than removing them.<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cleanly cut lawn demands a finely honed blade.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to kiss goodbye to raggedy edges and torn up grass, make certain the blades on your mower are sharp and ready for action.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t need to go overboard here but check and sharpen your blade on an annual basis and it will make your life easier while enhancing the end
