Lawn *******s do you mulch/bag or side discharge ?

[OffwhiteBrah]

I've been a bagger all my life due to the cleaner aesthetics but looking to switch to mulching . What your thoughts ?








for ur time

Mulch into lawn (no bag no discharge)

[esmile]

Mulch/bag forsure. Compost that **** and reuse it down the line.

[78novacaine]

Used the bag when I got my last mower the first few times, but got tired of starting/stopping to dump the bag 5-6 times just for the front yard so now I just let it mulch with no bag. It was noticeably more aesthetic bagged but not enough so to be worth the extra hassle.

This mulch the **** into the lawn, better for your lawn too.

[keyboardworkout]

I only have about 1,000 sq ft of grass in the backyard for the dog. For bermuda I always mulch. Winter rye I have to bag. Rye is too thick and stays too damp to mulch.

Fully depends on your lawn and the status of it.

side shoot should never be an option.

i would mulch it if you have healthy grass with very minimal weeds. This allows the mulched up grass to help keep the ground wet and then the blades will breakdown into natural nutrients.

if you have some weeds, i would bag it to prevent spreading any undesirable weeds and invasive grass types.

[GooBaaa]

I was bagging for a bit but I was running out of compost room so now I mulch it

Remember, if you bag you can use those clipping for compost. Thats what I do and my lawn ends up mega clean...of leaves, clippings, any thing on it.

this is the main reason i bag, i have never been good at maintaining my lawn and there's weed galore every summer. Need to get on top of shiit or hire a company to do that for me

[AltarOfPlagues]

sometimes i discharge while im mowin

[MrBourbon]

Mulch in place crew checking in, aint nobody got time for dat. Good for your grass too brah.

[BeardBrahhh]

i run a side discharge with a mulching blade, my lawn looks like absolute dog chit BTW best of luck with your lawn goals 2020

[Bigdumogre]

I bag the first few times after I fertilize it’s get rid of weeds so the weeds don’t spread. After that I mulch and it grows so much better now.

[yabbayabba]

Let that **** shoot out the side like screaming bald eagle jizz. It's ****ing grass.

I’m with this man. My grass stays pretty moist so I bag it, plus front lawn is small so I can do it while only changing the bag once. If I don’t bag it the grass clippings look all clumpy on the lawn, makes it look like ****.

I don’t have any weeds so I probably could get away with no bag when it’s really dry in the summer.

Mulch, 1.25 acres

[lockdev]

I've got 0.6 acres and a toddler. Have to cut at least once a week to prevent my yard looking like it's abandoned. No way I'm bagging.

Side discharge and a middle finger to my rich neighbor who pays for lawn service.

[JStrez]

When I cut my lawn I always bagged it since I didn't want the mulch on the grass. If I mulched my grass it would kill my lawn because it would build up thatch. We also use our front yard and back yard often so I wouldn't want to be walking in the mulch. I hire a guy now to do it because it's dirt cheap and looks good. He also picks up all the leaves on my house which is the GOAT.

[tunafishha]

I just cut the grass because it gits too long brah.

[dannyg1217]

candidates. Alternate between mulch and bag. Depends on length, condition, whether I fertilized recently, etc.

[Ratfish]

bagcels are just removing nutrients from their lawn

wood never do that

i also use an unpowered reel mower since absolutely everything was better in the 1950s

I would love to have a nice high quality American made push mower. My grandpa used to pay me a dime as a kid to push one all over his yard. Cheap old bastard.

Helpful thread is helpful.

I've got a small front and back lawn that take total 20 mins to Mow, +15 to edge. Worth saving the $40 every time because it's a decent work out and tolerable if done when its less than 80degrees outside.


Shooting out the side is great for ease. But agreed it looks better and cleaner when it's bagged. just such a waste. I get it why prof. lawn companies do it though, it's 1/2 of what you're paying for.

[ErnieMccracken]

If your lawn is small, bag for maximum aesthetics and fertilize a little more to compensate. If you have a big lawn and need to dump the bag 3+ times, probably not worth the hassle.

I did that back when I was in my 20's. That's WORK right there.

those days are long gone lol.

[azzspankr]

Used to use a bag but it became a pain in the ass so I just let it blow out

[Ironmanlet]

I side that chit right into my driveway because I love random ass thick patches of grass in my driveway.


But seriously, I just keep it all on the lawn for thicker growth. Why waste it?

If it is super thick and clumps, it does look bad for a couple days while that cut grass dries out. But I feel like in general that is good for the lawn.
