| Hello
I'm currently reseeding a few large patches on my lawn, and various other dead spots. The majority of the lawn is established. I cut it as low as I could prior to seeding the areas, but now the established parts need to be cut. New seeds are sprouting nicely, and I don't want to disturb them. I have a reel mower. Is there a particular technique? I don't want to have so many lawn clippings on the area tat disturb the new seeds to remove them. Am I over thinking this? :) |

| Depending on just how low you cut the established parts the clippings shouldn't bother the new grass coming in. But to that, why not cut it a little higher so that the new grass isn't cut too soon. You can always re-cut it when the new grass might be cut at the same time. I am doing exactly the same thing to my front lawn where I removed a dying blue spruce. It was 40 ft high and with it not being there it does change the look...I have to get used to having a lawn there now and I'm waiting for newly seeded grass to come in. |
