Keep mower blades sharp. Dull blades don't cut the lawn as crisply and can damage the ss and make it vulnerable to diseases.
Mow when the ss is dry. Mow
wet
ss can damage the blades and cause uneven mow
.
Set y mower to the proper cutt
height.
This depends on the type of ss in y
lawn:
Kentucky Bluess 3.0" Zoysia 1.0" - 1.5"
Fescues and Ryess 3.0" St. Augustine 3.0"
Bentss 1.0" Bahia
ss 3.0"
Bermudass 1.0"- 1.5" Centipede
ss 1.5"
Mow often enough that you never remove more then 1/3 of the lawn height with each cut.
Make sure you don't leave clipps on the pavement where they can wash off into a
er s
ce and contribute to urban
er pollution.
When er
y
lawn,
er deeply but not too often. In general,
er
should moisten the soil to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. This requires an application of a half inch of
er on coarse, sandy soil, and 1 inch on heavy or fine-textured soil. Too much
er can cause
er quality and
ss problems, increas
the chance of fungus, or runoff and leach
of nutrients. And, it's a waste of
precious
er res
ces.
Make sure the unleaded gasoline in y mower is no more than 30 days old. To extend the fuel's shelf life, try a fuel stabilizer such as Honda's Fuel Stabilizer. These products slow the ag
process of the fuel.
Turn y
mower sharply may scalp y
ss! Be sure to make wide turns.
Grass clipps and debris that build up on the underside of the mower deck can hamper performance. Be sure to clean the underside of the deck and blades periodically. (see owner's manual for proper procedure)
To enhance the appearance of y lawn, don't forget to altern
y
mow
pattern. This will help keep y
ss from gett
wear patterns or a dull appearance.
