Using Lawn Mower In The Proper Manner

How many times have you use your lawn mower every month? If you are someone like me who is heavily dependent on the lawn mower when working in the garden, you should learn how to take proper care of it. I believed you do not want to spent a few hundred bucks to repair it thus knowing the proper way to use your lawn mower is necessary.

You will probably be thinking now that isn’t pushing the lawn mower the only way to properly use it? That is when we are all wrong. There are certain techniques that we need to learn and practice when mowing in the lawn. Now, I am going to share with you some tips on how to master the various techniques.


3 Techniques To Properly Use Your Lawn Mower

1) Make sure that you are handling with even lines. In order to achieve this, you are required to maintain the wheels by at least 2 inches inside the previous line that you have cut.

2) Run the lawn mower across the hilly portions of your lawn to maintain the straight lines and footing.

3) If your lawn mower comes with a grass clipping bag, remember to empty it often to prevent clogging the machine.


When To Mow Your Lawn

1) Dry grass

If the grass is wet, it might be obstructing the mower blades since it might get stuck in there. This will affect the efficiency of cutting the grass since it is much more difficult with obstruction in the mower blades. In the worst scenario, the quality of the cut will now be good due to this.

In most cases, I believed you will not work on your lawn when it is wet because you do not want to get yourself dirty. In fact, I encourage not working in those conditions since you will spoil the grass and roots when you step on the wet soil. Don’t create more mess for yourself!

2) Early in the morning/ Late afternoon

These are the 2 timing that is most appropriate for mowing since the lawn is pretty dry during these hours. The fungus that can be found in your lawn is your best gauge to see if it is a good time to work on your lawn as well.


After Using Your Mower

Humans breakdown when overwork and the same logic goes for machines. Therefore, it is always good to engage in some basic maintenance after using it.

You can simply rinse the lawn mower with to eliminate the grass clippings that can be found in the external of the lawn mower. At the same time, clear the grass clipping bag.

Next, oil the metal parts to prevent it from rusting and store it in a place that is not accessible for your kids. Most kids will think that mowing is a fun activity and it will be dangerous if they use the lawn mower when you are busy elsewhere.


Mowing can be fun but at the same time tiring. We will get dirty most of the times but it is necessary to keep the grass healthy to have a better living environment. Remember to maintain your lawn mower and use it the proper way.
