LAWN
CARE:
CUTTING
HEIGHT
Cutting
height
will
vary
with
different
types
of
grass,
climate,
and
individual
preference
..
Generally,
grass
should
be
cut
1
II
to
1!--2"
in
spring,
and
not
less
than
2"
in
hot
summer
weather
USE
OF
GRASS
CATCHER
By
continually
mulching
grass
clippings
into
the
lawn, a thick
mot
may
form
which
could
suffocate
grass
roots. To
avoid
matting
and
to
develop
a thick
turf,
it
is
recommended
to
gather
grass
clippings
in
a
catcher,
Using
the
grass
catcher
also
helps
prevent
the
spreading
of
weeds
by
cutting
and
gathering
the
seed
MOWING
PATTERNS
Reversing
and
changing
mowing
direction,
every
cutting
will
help
to
eliminate
matting,
graining,
and
corrugation,
thereby
enhancing
your
lawn
appear-
ance
Instead
of
cutting
in circles,
try
various
mow-
ing
patterns
to
get
additional
mowing
benefits

TURF
MAINTENANCE
Proper

"REEL"
MOWING
FACTS
Today,
an
increasing
number
of
home
owners
de-
sire
the
better-looking
lown
which
only a reel-type
power
lown
mower
can
provide
Many
of
these
home
owners
have
had
no
exper-
ience
whatever
with
reel
mowers
unless
it
may
have
been
with
the
old
push-type
hand
mower.
Since
the
days
when
such
people
used a hand
mower,
lawns
themselves
have
changed
radically
and
lawn
care
has
undergone a revolution,
Home
owners
who
are
seeking
better
lawns
are
apt
to
be
those
who
apply
chemicals,
fertilizers
and
water
most
religiously,
Very
probably,
they
have
better
than
average
lawns
From
experience,
they
are
more
than
ordinarily
demanding
of
the
appearance
of
their
lawns
after
cutting
For a
well
maintained
lawn, 0 reel
mower
will
give
the
finest
appearance
it
is
possible
to
obtoin,
There
are,
however,
certain
things
which
should
be
understood
about
reel
mowers
as 0 group,
as
on
aid
in
selecting
the
right
machine,
1" A reel
mower
cuts
by
shearing
off
the
gross
blodes
as
would a pair
of
scissors
Consequently,
the
cut
grass
tip
is
clean.
There
is
no
ragged
tip
"wound"
The
end
will
seal
quickly
with
no
dead
fringe
or
dis-
coloration.
This
is
one
of
several
important
reasons
why a lawn
cut
with a reel
mower
looks
better
and
why
growth
is
accelerated,
rather
than
impaired
2 Reel
mowers
have
no
"lift"
action
They
will
not
raise
gross
blades
which
are
lying
down.
Similarly,
if
grass
blades
lie
over
at
the
tips,
reel
mowers
will
push a certain
number
of
them
under
the
bed
knife
without
cutting
these
blades
off"
Hence
the
need
for
reosonably
frequent
cutting
with
reel
mowers
and
for
cutting
at
lower
heights
where
the
grass
stem
is
more
firm
3, Reel
mowers
with
blades
in
the
reel
that
ore
dose
together
ond
which
turn
faster
give 0 finer
cut,
produce
a
more
velvet-like
surface,
and
make
a
prettier
lown
than a mower
with
blades
far
aport
and
turning
slower
BUT,
the
closer
the
blodes
ond
the
higher
the
turning
speed
the
more
necessary
it
is
that
the
lawn
be
cut
often
so
thot
only
short
lengths
of
grass
are
cut
off,
likewise,
it
is
important
to
cut
close
to
the
root
crown
(1
X"
or
less)
unless
grasses
are
stiff
and
sturdy
and
will
stond
up
in
the
sheoring
oction
orea
4 Reel
mowers
with
fewer
blodes
set
further
apart
give a good
cut
and
will
do a better
job
at
higher
cutting
heights
or
when a greater
length
of
grass
is
to
be
cut
off
The
wide
spacing
of
the
blades
permits
longer
grass
to
get
into
the
shearing
areo
The
slower
turning
speed
of
the
reel
prevents
push-
ing
uncut
grass
blades
under
the
bedknife
5
There
is a practicol
limit
to
the
maximum
height
at
which
any
reel
mower
will
produce a smooth,
even
cut
with
few
or
no
missed
gross
blodes
For
Kentucky
blue,
Merion
blue,
and
fescue
lowns,
the
maximum
height
at
which 0 good,
even
cut
the
first
time
over
can
be
assured
is
about
1
Y2
inches,
For
St..
Augustine,
Bermuda,
and
Zoysia
lowns,
it
is
obout
1 %
to
2
inches
Printed
in
U.
SA
The
lawn
itself will
govern
the
maximum
height
for
good
cutting.
Healthy,
well-fed
lawns
with
sturdy
grass
blades
may
permit
going
above
the
limits
specified.
Sickly,
under-fed,
or
shady
lawris
with
limp
grass
will
almost
certainly
need
lower
cutting
heights.
No
reel
mower
is a brush
cutter
and
none
is
de-
signed
to
cut
hayfield
high
gross
For
the
home
owner
who
cares
about
appearance
and
who
is
willing
to
cut
frequently
enough,
the
reel
mower
is
the
ideal
machine,
