Well it is the weekend and I have tasks around the house. But starting the day by checking my email and favorite news feeds I couldn't help but post this article about lawn mowing.
We are in a drought, so the photo above is NOT my lawn or mower, mine is borderline dead right now as I only water a few minutes a week. However, I still have to get out there and trim, pull weeds, put out ant stakes, etc...
The bullet points from the article:
Mow with a sharp mower blade.
Mow frequently and not more than 1/3 of the height at once.
Keep your grass 3 inches tall.
Use a mulching mower and leave grass clippings on the lawn.
Mow when the lawn is dry.
Consider an electric mower.
Hit the related link below for the full article.
Note this only saves water if you do not already do the things listed above. Dialing back the amount of water is still the best way to save water.
