Mowing your yard?

Question

Do you have a method of cutting your yard?

I place weed killer around posts and keep my walks and gardens edged so I have little to no weeding. Then I mow three circles around the outside edges, cut diagonally from corner to corner and finish by re-cutting diagonally the opposite way making X's while pulling a ground roller and bagger the entire time of cutting at 2 inches.

Answer 1

Yes, I always use a method, as my garden (yard) is diagonal, Looking through from the house, I start on the right hand sideand work my way to the left, and as the mower has a roller it leaves the lawn striped. The next time I cut I reverse the procedure, Starting at the opposite end and on the opposite side, this ensures that anything I missed the previous cut, I will catch this time. We're all silly.

Answer 2

If I used your methods I would harm my grass.  Unless you have bentgrass you should be mowing at a minimum of 3 inches to promote deep root grown.  A lawn should never be rolled as it compacts the soil.  And unless you are trying to rid a lawn of fungus you should never bag as the clippings contain nitrogen and will green the lawn up.
