FAQs

Can you put a grass bag on any lawn mower? ›

If your push lawn mower does not come with a built-in bagging system, it may not be possible to attach a bag to it without making modifications or using aftermarket accessories. In such cases, using a rake or a manual grass collector to gather grass clippings after mowing may be necessary.

Simply put, bagging allows the lawn mower to fill the bag with grass clippings, thus reducing allergies and preventing pests and diseases from spreading. On the other hand, mulching is a technique where the mower shreds the grass and is released back into the lawn for natural fertilizing.

Most of the time, mulching your clippings is the best option. You should bag your clippings if the grass is tall, leaves are covering the lawn, or you need to prevent disease and weeds from spreading.

In damp conditions you absolutely must mow between 3 and 4 inches – the second-highest or highest setting on your deck. Your mower can't handle cutting too low in wet conditions. Don't bag or mulch. Use a side-discharge and then either rake up the clippings or mow again when it's dry using a bagger or mulcher.

Up to 25 percent of your lawn's total fertilizer needs are supplied by clippings left on the lawn. Clippings contain 80 to 85 percent water and decompose quickly. MU research shows clippings do not contribute to thatch problems. Average mowing time can be reduced by 30 percent when grass clippings are not bagged.

The grass cut by the mower deck of your mower is blown through the discharge chute into the bagger. A bagger will also collect any material or debris your lawn mower mows over. So if your yard is covered with leaves, this is a great way to clean them up without bending over to pick up leaves manually.

High Lift (Standard) Blades

This particular type of mower blade is ideal for discharging clippings either by throwing them out from the mower deck or by moving them into a collection bag.

A lawnmower grass bag is actually a filter, catching the grass cuttings inside whilst allowing air through the holes in the fabric. When the small holes become clogged with old grass, the air flow will be restricted and affect the lawnmower's ability to collect the grass.

If your lawn shows any signs of disease, it's best to bag up your clippings to avoid spreading that disease throughout your whole yard. Other than removing nutrients from your yard. Bagging takes up time and energy. It is extremely easy to let your mower blend up the clippings and be done.

will you ruin the lawnmower if you bag the grass while using the mulching blade? Yes you can and no you won't. Mulching blades can be used to bag, discharge, or mulch grass clippings.

Are mower baggers worth it? ›

Bagging is the easy way to clean up your yard. Everything from grass clippings and leaves to pine needles and twigs, no problem. Why? Bagging systems are like an outdoor vacuum cleaner and your lawn is like your outdoor carpet.

While leaving clippings on the lawn is recommended, there are some exceptions to the rule: Remove grass clippings from curb and gutter, especially near storm drains. Remove clippings if the lawn is heavily infested with diseases such as leaf spot, rust or dollar spot to help reduce disease severity.

The answer is that mulching the clippings is better for your lawn. That's because when you mulch the clippings, they will eventually break down and return nutrients to your soil. One of the most common misconceptions about mulching grass clippings is that it causes a thatch build-up problem.

MU research shows clippings do not contribute to thatch problems. Average mowing time can be reduced by 30 percent when grass clippings are not bagged. Besides saving time, you also save money by not having to purchase bags or pay for extra trash removal.
