Reel mulching

10 years ago

We have a gas power Mclane 20" 7 blades reel mower and was wondering if we need a rotary mower for mulching.

Yes. I have reels and rotaries. Reels do not mulch. In fact, reels don't like anything but low grass. No sticks, stines, etc.

If you're using a reel mower, you should be cutting often in which case the clippings aren't an issue, at least for Bermuda. I can't speak to Zoysia.
