Mulching:
The specially shaped blade ensures optimum cutting and mulching
results. The blades of grass are not simply cut off, but cut into small
particles which fall onto the ground between the blades of grass, thus
reducing the drying out of the lawn. Grass cuttings do not have to be
collected or disposed of and are a natural fertilizer.
The best mulching result is achieved when 1/3 of the grass height is
cut (e. g. from 60 mm to 40 mm).
The maximum area of 50 m² can only be achieved with optimum
conditions.
