Mulching
With mulching, the grass is cut into small pieces
(approx. 1 cm) during mowing and is left on the
ground. A lot of the nutrients in the cut grass are
retained for the benefit of the lawn.
Î
Ask your specialist dealer for appropriate mulching
accessories.
Tips on lawn care
A lawn comprises various grass types. If you mow
more frequently, the grown of strongly-rooting
grasses is favoured resulting in firm turf.
If you mow only rarely, the growth of tall grasses and
other weeds (e.g. clover, daisies) is encouraged.
To ensure you lawn grows healthily and uniformly,
without any lines, the cutting stripes must always
overlap by a couple of inches/several centimetres.
-The normal height of the lawn is 40–50 mm. Cut
approximately one third of the overall height as
soon as the lawn has reached a height of 60-
70 mm.
-Do not cut the lawn shorter than 45 mm as other-
wise the turf can be damaged during dry periods.
-Cut long grass in stages until normal height is
reached.
