I have about two acres and a 48 inch cut Craftsman lawn mower. Every time I mow I leave tons of grass clippings. I cut it very short I think. I only have time to mow once a week.
What is the proper "technique" for mowing? I think part of my problem is that I usually mow "clockwise" and probably should be mowing so I blow the clippings where I have just mowed. The reason I dont do this is it will blow clippings on my driveway/sidewalk/mulch. ANy help would be appreciated! No one ever showed me the proper way to mow.
By the way I bought some blades that say mulching/discharge blades from Sears for this mower. Should I make a plate to block the clippings from being "shot" out? So the mulching blades will chop them up finer? Any help is appreciated!
