What is typically the main advantage of using a mulching blade?

Using a mulching blade primarily provides the advantage of adding nutrients back to the lawn. Mulching blades are designed with special geometry that finely chops grass clippings and redistributes them back onto the lawn as the mower operates. This process not only helps to return valuable organic matter directly to the soil but also contributes to moisture retention and improving soil structure over time.

By returning clippings that contain a significant amount of nitrogen and other essential nutrients, mulching helps fertilize the lawn naturally. When grass clippings decompose, they release these nutrients, promoting healthier growth and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. This environmentally friendly approach supports sustainable lawn care practices by minimizing waste and enriching the soil ecosystem.
