I've been cutting to about 3" and bagging lately. I was shocked at how much stuff winds up in the bag. I have a tiny yard to mow, 30 minutes flat for a mow and wack, I get over two bushels of clippings every time.

still bagging, and like BBJ..amazed at what it picks up..got a grass dump out back, stuff don't break down too fast, that's for sure.
weeds are noticeably less this year, at the higher setting.

after a couple hours of cutting and clipping, the deck and something cold is always in order...and time to go get some more firewood is in order too.. all set for this winter...but a good time to plan for the one after.

So.. Saltheart... how is your experiment working out for you?

Hey guys I just wanted to add my 2 cents here. I am a landscaper and at all my accouts right now with this heat am cutting at 4.25 to 4.50 inches. It really helps keeping the green. The lower you cut in this heat, you will burn your lawns and leaving it prone for weeds to take over or grubs which can destroy lawns. Also a tip for you if your gonna water your lawns do it first thing in the morning. During the day time is a waste and during the night your more likely to have your lawn get a fungis
