Mowing the lawn may seem simple-start the lawn mower and cut the grass. But there is also a correct way of mowing-the correct way of mowing will help your lawn grow thick and keep healthy.
Here are three tips for mowing:
? Do not cut grass more than 1/3 of the thickness of the lawn each time. In this way, you can leave grass of sufficient height for it to capture sunlight and establish a strong root system. This helps the lawn suppress the growth of weeds and resist pests and diseases.
?Do not cut the lawn bald. You might think that cutting the lawn very short can reduce the workload of mowing, and doing so is the worst for the health of the lawn. When the lawn is cut too short, the grass has been injured, and a series of bad things will happen to the lawn, which is equivalent to actively inviting weeds and pests to invade the lawn.
• Keep the lawn mower blade sharp. Sharpen the blades of the mower every year before mowing. A clean cut will allow the lawn plant's wound to heal quickly before the second mowing.
