Lawn mowing tip by Award-Winning Lawn Fertilizing Service  and lawn care company,  Master Gardener Lawn Care. Operating Macomb, Oakland and Berrien County, Michigan . 

We would like to share this video from our friend Ron Calhoun of Michigan State University. We can not stress enough the importance of mowing your lawn high.  All of our clients that mow high have the greenest and healthiest lawns in their neighborhoods.

 

Scrip from the video:

“Hello, I’m Ron Calhoun from MSU Extension and I’m getting ready to mow today and it made me think about the most common mistake that most home owners make and that is mowing their lawn entirely too short.  You know the misconception is that if you mow your lawn short you can actually not mow as often.  Where the reality is the shorter you mow your lawn, the more often you’re going to have to mow it otherwise you’re going to scalp it.  Also, mowing too short is going to lead to more weeds in your lawn.  So as we think about raising the mower up.  We are actually going to be allowing our self to have a longer interval to when were mowing.  It’s going to lead us to fewer weeds in our lawn and were going to have a lawn that’s going to stay greener longer during the summer time.  Another advantage of raising the mowing height is that it actually makes it a lot easier to return the clipping into the lawn.  Meaning I can get rid of this bag.  And take those clippings that have a lot of nutrients in them and return them back into the lawn.  For more information go to MSU.EDU.”
