The Mowing Equation: Grass Type, Height & Clippings
Description
How does the type of grass you grow impact how often you mow and what happens when you cut it too short? In this episode, we break down the science behind turf management, including how mowing height affects clipping production, why grass type influences mowing frequency, and how following the 1/3 Rule can lead to healthier lawns. Learn how maintaining a slower growth rate can reduce mowing needs and minimize clippings, all while keeping your turf in top condition.
