I've learned that myself: If he gets in a sticky situation, or if he's on the golf course (and) it's not working, he can't ask me anyway. He’s gotta try to figure it out. So I might as well try to give him all the help early on and let him learn from his mistakes."

Allowing your grass clippings to remain on your lawn has benefits that go far beyond time savings. The trimmings left behind can provide free nutrients and get your grass growing in the right direction—full and lush with blades for days. “Grass clippings are a great source of free fertilizer for your lawn,” says Licklider. “They break down very quickly in Southern climates and add nutrients and organic matter back to the soil.” This process can benefit overall turf health, reduce the need for chemical fertilizers, and aid in moisture retention.Utilizing your grass clippings will require certain considerations like mow height and frequency that should be based on your grass type. Licklider says a general rule for mow height is to use a higher cut for cool-season grasses like fescue and opt for a shorter cut for warm-season grasses like Bermuda and zoysia.

“If you think you can’t leave [grass clippings on your lawn] because it leaves large clumps on the cut grass, then you aren’t mowing your lawn frequently enough,” he says. Licklider advises only trimming off the top 15% to 30% of the grass blades. This amount should be small enough to easily fall down to the soil. “If you’re seeing large hay clumps when you cut, you’re probably waiting too long between cuts and taking off closer to 50% or more of the plant,” he says. Licklider warns this can not only stress the grass, but the large clumps also have the potential to smother the grass below.“The overall name of the game, regardless of grass type, is sharp mower blades,” he adds. “They will mulch the clipping better as you cut and create a cleaner cut of grass itself, which is better for the grass.”
