How to Bag With a Mulcher Mower

Mulching mowers cut up the mowed grass into small pieces. These small pieces can be left on the lawn as a fertilizer, as small pieces of grass break down quite easily. If there is a thick layer of thatch -- dead plant material -- on the lawn, the grass from your mulching mower might not break down properly. If thatch is a problem and you don't have time to remove it, it may be necessary to bag the grass clippings from your mower and move them to a mulching pile.
