I have been bagging the grass clippings forever. I just like the look of the neat lawn and thought it was better to take the clippings away. But the main reason is that I have this old lawn mower which I bought used over 25 years ago that I can't seem to part with. It starts every time and works great except it doesn't do such a good job mulching the clippings. It was made to be a bagger and left large clumps of clippings on the lawn if the bag wasn't on...until I added this little piece of sheet metal...
It is so simple...it blocks the bag attachment and keeps the clippings swirling around to give the blade a better chance of cutting them up and spreading them evenly. The lawn looks good and it takes a lot less effort to get it done. Why didn't I think of this years ago?
I guess I could have gotten a new mower to solve the problem but I kind of want to see how long this damn thing will keep on running.
