10.2.2
Difference between lawn mowing and
lawn mulching (Fig. 13, 16)
When using the mulching insert (13), the grass clippings
are not collected in a grass collection bag, but shredded
and distributed over the lawn. The nutrients contained in
the grass clippings are thus broken down by soil organ-
isms forming a nutrient cycle. Mulched lawns therefore
need to be fertilised much less frequently.
As a general rule, the lawn must be mowed relatively of-
ten so that only small amounts of mulch remain on the
lawn. It is therefore best to mulch the lawn at least once a
week and set the mower so that only approx. 40% of the
total height of the lawn is mulched. If the mulch remains
visible on the lawn (e.g. during the first cut of the year or
during heavy growth), the grass bag (5) should be used.
