HOW FREQUENT MOWING HELPS IMPROVE LAWN DENSITY AND SUPPRESS W**D GROWTH
Frequently mowing your lawn does more than keep it looking tidy, it actually promotes the lawn's health in a couple different ways. First, it promotes lawn density. Imagine a shrub that's only pruned infrequently, it will produce a few long branches instead of multiple short ones and become tall and leggy instead of short and dense. The same thing happens with grass. Infrequent mowing produces a lawn with longer, fewer blades. Frequent mowing produces a denser lawn with more blades. Note: This does NOT mean cutting the grass shorter and shorter. It means cutting the grass at its optimum height on a regular basis.
The second benefit of frequent mowing is that it puts pressure on w**ds. Many varieties of w**ds do not thrive at the same height grass thrives at and causes them stress by continually cutting them off, making them more susceptible to herbicide applications.
