Keep the cutting blades always sharp,
6.
avoiding the grass to be thrashed and not
cut. Blunt blade cutting favours diseases
attack, sometimes of difficult control,
leaving the grass with an irregular and
brown aspect.
Another care that should be taken during
7.
lawn mowing is the cutting direction,
that should be alternated, avoiding soil
compactation. Soil compactation reduces
the oxygen available for the roots and
hampers its normal growth. In some cases,
it may ruin the grass. For instance, if this
time you mow the lawn in North-South
direction, the next one should be East-
West direction, and so on.
What should be done with the straw: leave
8.
it on the lawn or take it away?
By one way, as it decays, it renders
back to the soil the nutrients previously
extracted from it. On the other hand,
gathering the straw provides more aeration
36
and luminosity to the soil (which are
necessary for the development of the
lawn) and the temperature and humidity
are lower, thus reducing the risks of
diseases, and even improving its aspect.
With TRAPP grass catcher simplified
installation system, you may choose the
best option for you.
Avoid mowing the lawn early in the
9.
morning, when there is still a lot of dew
on it. Besides facilitating the appearance
of diseases, it is also for safety reasons.
As a final touch, you may also beautify
10.
your garden alternating the height of
the grass in different strips. TRAPP lawn
mower's easy and quick regulating system
allows you to change the cutting height
without the need of tools. The final visual
effect is the same as we usually see in
soccer fields, i.e., stripes or checkered
designs in different green tones.
