Re: Mulch mower.. blows leaves around
I'm soooo jealous of you guys. I can't mulch or I'll be at 100% Poa Triv. Too good to be true for me

Re: Mulch mower.. blows leaves around
A recent discovery for me- if you go backwards with the mower it works great. I had not been having too much of an issue with the leaves blowing away from the mower, but I found one pass forward and the next pass backwards really worked great. Might look a little ridiculous to the neighbors and may not produce the straightest lines, but if chopping the leaves is the goal it works well.

Re: Mulch mower.. blows leaves around
Backwards is a good trick. What also works is after 1 or 2 passes along the same path go perpendicular for a final third pass. Today I did 2 passes north south in my backyard, and then finished off east-west, but I went backward along the same line (maybe offset 6-8"). Not sure why, but that has always worked for me as well.
