If you are looking at your lawn in dismay – take heart. Here at Just Lawnmowers we totally understand that during the Winter your lawn takes quite a battering. If you\u2019ve had weather like us then your lawn has had to cope with snow, ice, extreme wet weather, and big storms. It probably no longer looks loved, or green and lush like it did back in the summer months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s probably a few bare patches and it may even be suffering from weeds and moss. But the good news is, that there is plenty you can do to bring your lawn back to health and looking the best it’s ever looked. One of those ways is to mulch it. Mulching is recommended throughout the year but especially during Spring and Summer – but be patient though, it’s important to allow some time for the soil to warm up before you do, so waiting for mid spring (unless the weather has been extremely mild) is the best thing for your grass. So now is the best time to start looking around for a dedicated mulching lawn mower! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why do we need to mulch the grass? Mulched grass allows vital nutrients to be returned to the grass as it grows – and in an ideal world we\u2019d all be mulching our grass every time we mow, but for aesthetic reasons we sometimes need to collect the grass and take it away. This is fine too, but mulching as much as possible throughout the warmer weather is extremely important. Mulching is also better for the environment as it is 100% organic matter and you won\u2019t need to buy additional lawn care products. It is of course safe for children, pets, animals and wildlife too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know you can buy lawn mowers that are dedicated mulchers? They provide the easiest way to mow your lawn and ensure it remains green and healthy all year round. There are so many on the market these days, so you may find it difficult to choose the best one, so for your convenience we\u2019ve made your life easier by picking three excellent dedicated mulchers to showcase to you here to make the selection process that little bit easier and fuss free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
