Do MULCH MOWER BLADES straighten Grass upward before cutting?

Question

Wondering if Mulch Blades found on mowers actually suck up grass so it stands straight before they are cut. If so would these mulcher mowers actually suck up Fertilizer from the soil (if fertrilizer was laid on the soil prior to mowing the lawn)?

Answer 1

Yes the mulching blade is angled at ends to work like a fan in reverse and creates an updraft ,enough to hold grass blades up but not enough to pickup fertilizer pellets

Answer 2

Mulcher blades create an updraft, less for the purpose of giving a nice crew cut, but more to keep the cuttings swirling around so they get chopped up finer than in a non-mulching mower and not leave clumps behind. And so what if they chop up the fertilizer. That can only help it get spread more evenly and be absorbed better.

Answer 3

The end two and a half inches or so of a mulch blade are at an angle of 30 degrees and do lift the air at the outer edge of your mower. So, yes it possibly could.
I'd water your lawn one day, and mow it the next. That way any loose fertilizer would settle low enough not to be affected.

Answer 4

No they don't. The mulching blade simply means it puts the grass back on the lawn after cutting it in small peices. The can't suck up the fertilizer from the soil. So you are alright there. Just make sure you blade is sharpe.

Answer 5

No they don't, that's why you want to mow your grass the opposite way next time so your grass will grow straight and won't look so uneven.

Answer 6

in case you want it in any respect, then probably an same style of hours that it takes to tire of the different music you want. It purely comes round once a year. I used to sing or hum Christmas music in June or July in simple terms because I in simple terms like the stupid sentimental stuff, both the non secular and non non secular. i'm even if, speedy to p.c.. away the Christmas decorations contained in the first 0.5 of January. in simple terms FYI, "Carol of the Bells" is my very fav, then is "Wizards in wintry climate"

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

Simple solution is not to bag the clippings .....you are paying for fertilizer which is largely nitrogen...that's that first number. Grass is pretty much nothing but cellulose and nitogen....FREE FERTILIZER.....
