FAQs

Can you put a grass bag on any lawn mower? ›

If your push lawn mower does not come with a built-in bagging system, it may not be possible to attach a bag to it without making modifications or using aftermarket accessories. In such cases, using a rake or a manual grass collector to gather grass clippings after mowing may be necessary.

Simply put, bagging allows the lawn mower to fill the bag with grass clippings, thus reducing allergies and preventing pests and diseases from spreading. On the other hand, mulching is a technique where the mower shreds the grass and is released back into the lawn for natural fertilizing.

Most of the time, mulching your clippings is the best option. You should bag your clippings if the grass is tall, leaves are covering the lawn, or you need to prevent disease and weeds from spreading.

Your mower can't handle cutting too low in wet conditions. Don't bag or mulch. Use a side-discharge and then either rake up the clippings or mow again when it's dry using a bagger or mulcher.

Any clipping bag must be emptied after each and every use! Look, leftover grass in the lawn mower bag can cause it to become overfilled and may even cause something to break.

While this may be temporarily the more aesthetically pleasing option, your lawn won't be able to reap the nutritional benefits of the clippings. So, while you can bag the grass clippings if you really want to, mulching them will be better for your lawn in the long run!

Average mowing time can be reduced by 30 percent when grass clippings are not bagged. Besides saving time, you also save money by not having to purchase bags or pay for extra trash removal.

Check your grass bag isn't clogged

A lawnmower grass bag is actually a filter, catching the grass cuttings inside whilst allowing air through the holes in the fabric. When the small holes become clogged with old grass, the air flow will be restricted and affect the lawnmower's ability to collect the grass.

There are few times that we would actually recommend bagging your grass clippings. That may be a good idea if you're having a specific turf disease problem that you're hoping to not spread as you mow, when cleaning up leaves in the fall, or if you went way too long between mowings.

Are lawn baggers worth it? ›

If you have a lawn that has gone without mowing for a long period of time, side discharge mowing or mulch mowing could lead to thatch, clumping, lawn disease and potential bare spots. Bagging in this circ*mstance is the way to go. The sooner the better.

If you let the grass grow long and cut your yard infrequently, bagging may be the best option. But if you cut your grass more often, mulching offers some great benefits, including: It cuts mowing time by as much as one-third. It reduces the need for fertilizer, since it gives the yard a nitrogen boost.

Mulch your grass after the growing season (usually late spring or fall). Make sure not to do so when it's wet.

A high lift blade delivers maximum airflow for the best cut. But it does need a higher horsepower mower to perform, therefore using more gas. This is the ideal choice when you are bagging, since the higher lift force will send the clippings out of the deck.

While this may be temporarily the more aesthetically pleasing option, your lawn won't be able to reap the nutritional benefits of the clippings. So, while you can bag the grass clippings if you really want to, mulching them will be better for your lawn in the long run!

Develop compost.

Simply shred the leaves in a mower, add them to your compost pile, top the leaves with a nitrogen-rich item, such as grass clippings, and turn the pile at least once per month to circulate the oxygen. If you want to compost the leaves quickly, turn them every week and add more water.
