What is the best way to mow?
Mowing efficiently is a good way to maintain your lawn. Leave three inches in height each time you mow. This height reduces evaporation of water, invasion of weeds, increases the depth of root growth, and helps the plant produce and store sufficient food reserves for future growth. When mowing the lawn, remove about one third of the grass blade with each cut. Leave the grass-clippings on the lawn after each cutting. This returns nutrients to the soil for succeeding uptake by the grass plant.
