I have heard a lot about recycler (or mulching mowers), what are they?
Mulching mowers are designed to cut and re-cut grass clippings into fine particles that fall back into the turf, virtually unseen. These reduced particles provide moisture and nutrients that help keep your lawn looking great, without creating thatch. Mulching mowers come basically in two forms: dedicated and convertible. Dedicated mulching mowers will only mulch, while the convertible mowers allow mulching as well as conversion to rear bagging or side discharge type mowers. Grass clippings returned to the soil contribute to a healthy lawn. Grass clippings are 85% water, and as they break down they provide valuable nutrients to the soil. In fact, a season’s worth of mulching can actually provide about 25% of your lawn’s fertiliser requirements.
