Environmentally Friendly Way to Mow Your Lawn

Changing the way you mow your grass can save water by reducing the need for lawn irrigation. Here’s how:
- Use a mulching mower and blade. Leaving the grass clippings on the lawn will provide natural, organic nitrogen and help retain moisture.
- Don’t cut the grass too short. Set your cutting depth to leave 2½” to 3” of grass. Taller grass protects the stem from sunlight, makes a stronger root system, and reduces evaporation.
