Tips for maintaining your lawn
Best time to mow
Mow your lawn when the grass is dry. This prevents the clippings
from clumping and leaving piles on the lawn. Mow it late in the day
rather than during the heat of the day.
Mowing frequency
Mow often, producing short, small clippings. During the active gro-
wing season the mowing frequency should be increased to once eve-
ry 3-5 days, before the grass is too long. Short clippings decompose
quickly and will not cover the grass surface. If the grass gets too high,
raise the cutting height, mow, then gradually lower it over several mo-
wings.
Cutting Height
Follow the "1/3 rule:" mow no more than 1/3 of the length of the grass.
Proper mowing will produce short clippings that will not cover up the
grass surface. You may have to cut the lawn more frequently, or dou-
ble cut, when the lawn is growing fast, such as in the spring.
Water
Grasscycling reduces the amount of water needed by lawns since the
clippings are about 80 - 85% water. Grasscycling slows evaporation
losses from the soil surface, and conserves water. Most lawns need
less water when Grasscycling.
Watering
Water your lawn between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. in the morning, so water
has time to soak into the soil before the heat of the sun causes eva-
poration. Your lawn needs 1 to 1-1/2" (3-4cm) of water weekly. Deep
watering allows grass to develop a deep root system, enabling the
lawn to resist disease and drought.
Do not over water
Too much water is not only wasteful but can also increase turf growth,
which requires more frequent mowing. Let the soil partially dry out
between watering. Water when the top two inches of soil have dried
out. Use an object such as a screwdriver to probe your soil and mea-
sure the depth of the moisture.
Fertilization
Grasscycling reduces the amount of lawn fertilizer needed because
the clippings provide about 1/4 of a lawn's annual needs.
Blade
Keep your mower blade sharp. Sharp blade provides a clean, safe
and efficient cut. Dull mower blade will tear and shred the tips of the
grass, which can provide an entry point for disease organisms and
weaken the grass plant. It is recommended to replace Robomow bla-
de once a year.
Thatch
Clippings and thatch are simply not connected. As mentioned previ-
ously, grass clippings are approximately 80-85 percent water with
only small amounts of lignin, and decompose rapidly. When we stop
and think about it, golf courses, sports fields, and parks have been
mowing grass for years and recycling with no grass catchers. A small
amount of thatch (approximately 1/2 inch) is actually beneficial to a
lawn. Grass clippings protect your lawn's root system from heat and
water loss.
