Grass-cycling is recycling grass clippings by leaving them on your lawn instead of raking them up for disposal. By grass cycling, you can:

• Cut Down on Mowing Time
• Spend Less Money
• Reduce Waste

Any mower can recycle grass clippings. Just remove the grass catcher. Mulching mowers produce finer clippings.

• Never cut off more than 1/3 of the grass blade in one mowing. Keep grass mowed to 2" in early spring. Gradually raise the mower's cutting height to 3"-4" by summer then gradually lower it to 2" by fall.
• Mow when the grass is dry.
• Keep your mower blade sharp. Dull mowers tear the grass blade; this injury gives the turf a brownish cast.
• Mow over the clippings a second time if the grass gets too high. This will further shred the clippings.
• To prevent excess growth between clippings, raise the mower height, mow, then gradually lower it over several mowings. This will also reduce shock to the plants from cutting too much at once.

DID YOU KNOW:
that a 40 by 100 foot lawn produces about 1,200 pounds - nearly 50 bags - of grass clippings each year? Think of the time, money, and effort it takes to bag all those clippings. Why go through all that hassle when it's not necessary? Furthermore, you throw away $75.00 of your tax money with those 50 bags because of unnecessary collection and disposal costs. You can have a healthy green lawn and lower your City's expenses by leaving grass clippings where they fall.

CYCLING NOW.
It's simple. Just leave the grass clippings on the lawn to decompose. The clippings are a natural organic fertilizer. Your lawn can remain healthy because each time you mow, you return valuable nutrients and moisture to the soil.
