Mulching Tips

Mountfield and Stiga have been a leading pioneer in the development of mulching lawn mowers and mulching decks. As the leading manufacturers of mulching lawnmowers in Europe they can offer customers high quality lawn mulching systems that will create the perfect lawn and save you time and money!

Just lawnmowers Advice When Purchasing a Mulching Product!

For larger areas ride-on mulching mowers make life much easier, you can cut your grass without having to stop and empty the collector saving time and allowing you to concentrate on the job.

On lawns of this size disposal of grass clippings can be a real problem, you may well have piles of rotting grass all over the place. Mulching mowers solve this problem by recycling clippings back into the soil.

The time saved compared to conventional collecting systems and improvement in lawn quality make mulching ride-on mowers an ideal choice for large gardens.

Follow the "one-third" rule. Never cut more than the top third of the grass.

Leave grass about half an inch longer than you would normally if you were discharging or collecting the clippings.

Keep your mower blades sharp. Mulching tends to dull blades faster than other methods of mowing. Sharpen them more often, if necessary.

Water the lawn after mulching, not before. Dry clippings disperse more easily than moist ones. Watering after the lawn has been mulched helps clippings settle better and speeds up decomposition.

Reduce fertiliser usage. The clippings you give back to the lawn return nitrogen and other nutrients to the soil, you may not need to use any artificial fertilisers.

The only time NOT to consider purchasing a mulching product is if you have rough areas of grass like paddocks & orchards, or if you require a totally grass free finish on your lawn
