Grasscycling is the natural recycling of grass by leaving clippings on the lawn when mowing. 

Benefits

• Saves time and the effort of filling up the green bin
• Promotes a healthier lawn, as it releases valuable nutrients back into the soil
• Helps reduce water usage and the need for synthetic fertilizers
• Saves money, as less water and fertilizer needed

How to Grasscycle

• Cut no more than 1/3 the grass's length, to avoid covering up the grass surface
• Cut grass when the surface is dry
• Keep mower blades sharp
• Cut when the height is between 3 and 4 inches

Although you can grasscycle with any mower, you may want to consider buying a new lawn mower.
