What do I do about grass clippings?

best lawn mower for wet grass image

My lawn mower does not have a mulch feature. I know that it is not good to leave big mounds of clippings from overgrown or wet grass on your lawn since it would smother the grass. But if I mow my lawn a second time, spreading the clippings out that way, it looks fine. Is that okay, or should I rake it up, given that my mower does not "mulch." And....if it must have a mulch feature, is that something that can be added to my mower? I have both a riding mower and a self-propelled push mower.

Answer
mowing the second time will probably work fine-as long as you don't have 'rows' of clippings left....even then you can let dry a bit then take a fan type rake and turn it over and use it to fan out the piles....clippings left on the lawn will help add needed nutrients....you can check with a mower repair shop about adding a mulcher to your exising mower but easiest way would be to just add a mulching blade
good luck!

I was cuting grass when it started to sprinkle.I kept going and it kept sprinkling.Finally i decide to stop because i thought it was going to start raining.But what would have happen if i would kept going and my lawn mower would got wet?

Answer
Nothing really, grass tends to stick to the under-body of the mower when it is wet and this will in-turn slow the blade resulting in an unclean cut and a general loss of power.
