Can Mulch Mower kill grass Seeds on grass blades?

BS9999

My grass has gotten a bit large and now has grass seeds on their tips. It needs a good cut but i figure i should use a Mulch Mower so that when i do cut my lawn those seeds from the blades can make it to my soil. Will this happen or will the mulch mower, mulch the hell out of those seeds too rendering them useless?

THank you.

Answer
I am guessing you have Bermuda grass.So NO mulching won't hurt your seeds unless there is so much leaf that after mulching you get a fungus problem.Heck most grass seed makes it through a cow,sheep,or goats digestive tract unharmed...

St. Augustine grass is the pits?

I bought my home recently and the back yard was neglected. About 60% was dirt and the small amount of St. Augustine grass was almost totally brown. After some serious watering and seeding the grass is looking pretty green but there are still some problems.

The only thing I could not get rid of was the pits in the grass. There are little dips and pits all over the lawn. You can't see them until you step in one because the grass is so thick. Pushing a lawn mower is hell because you can't go in a straight line without having to wiggle the wheels out of a pit. Is there a way to fill them in without digging up the grass first? If I add dirt to the pits won't the grass grow through it.?

Answer
Filling the pits with dirt will solve the problem. The grass will definitely grow through it. I had Bermuda grass at my house in NC and it went brown too--normally--so one winter I decided to dethatch by burning it. I got rid of all the dead grass, then I reseeded with a perennial rye, and it looked much better. But it didn't remove the Bermuda; you need God for that, getting rid of the stuff is like trying to get crack out of LA. Forget it.
