I recently started cutting mine twice because the cut was so much nicer. I noticed that the lawn was coming back faster and getting thicker. I am glad to see this video confirm that finding.

Mow it twice?!?!?! LOL 🤣 I can't even get off my ass to mow it ONCE!

@kylescottjohnston 3 года назад

Never afraid to double cut. Try removing the chute and just use a bungie to hold that door open won't clog as much and it will shoot the grass further. Looking good

That second mow always leaves it looking so sharp! It’s an absolute must

I just did this to my front lawn. Been mowing at 2” since May, only took it down an inch more and it looked like total crap. Still in the recovery phase yet. Started spoon feeding again, hope that peels things up. The double cut certainly works though!

@stang55 3 года назад

Completely off topic but I just have a question I haven’t been able to find the answer to anywhere. I live in Alberta Canada and my lawn along with everyone else’s goes totally brown and dormant in the winter. My question is, in the spring do those brown blades of grass begin to turn green again, or does the grass grow new blades? It seems like the answer is new blades, because every spring I have a lot of dead material that doesn’t go away. I’m asking because I’m already looking forward to next spring because my grass is already going dormant, lol, and I’m just wondering if in the spring if I should just scalp all of the dead stuff off so I don’t get matting and don’t have so much dead material in the lawn. Thanks!

@JimmyLewisMows 3 года назад

Dormancy is completely normal. Those blades will turn green again when the weather warms back up.

@neilfpv 3 года назад

@@JimmyLewisMows do you have a lawn maintenance guide that I can follow? My KBG lawn used to be very beautiful but it started deteriorating 4-5 years ago. I had a soil test and organic matter is still very good. I was thinking I maybe not putting right amount of fertilizer and dates on when they should be put down. I subscribed too. Thanks in advance!

@marcusweaver9728 3 года назад

Suggestion: i have the same mower, i leave the side chute open and leave the bag on. This eliminates the excessive clippings and you don’t have to double cut.

@JimmyLewisMows 3 года назад

Okay I like that! Definitely have to give that a try. Might even make a video on that one. Thanks!

Nice looking lawn, but you didn’t ever talk about “why you should mow your lawn twice”

@ColeSpolaric 3 года назад

13 to 14k sq ft sounds about right. I would have never collected that much clippings. I would have let it dry and then mulched it to fine pieces. I'm not one to put that much effort into it.

I have a Honda self propelled side discharge and it is very fuel efficient. I can cut my yard, which is an acre on 1 tank, if I didn't want to use my rider. Also, Hondas are known to last 20+ years with proper maintenance.. change oil, filter, coat inside deck.. etc.

Hey Jim just wanted to give a update on my timemaster. I was having alot of trouble with it in the spring. The problem was the blade engagement cable was loose when i got it. After tightening it up its a whole new mower and i absolutely love it now!

You gave your self more work why not catch it first time? If your are going to blow it out the side never blow it to the side your going to cut next. By time you get on your third cut you would have to much build up of grass. Also why should you cut twice?? You did not say.
