Lawn Care and Mowing Tips
Keep Lawnmower blades sharp. Dull blades don’t cut the lawn as crisply and can damage the grass and make it vulnerable to diseases.
Mow when the grass is dry. Mowing wet grass can damage the blades and cause uneven mowing.
Mow often enough that you never remove more then 1/3 of the lawn height with each cut.
Make sure you don’t leave clippings on the pavement where they can wash off into a water source and contribute to urban water pollution.
When watering your lawn, water deeply but not too often. In general, watering should moisten the soil to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. This requires an application of a half inch of water on coarse, sandy soil, and 1 inch on heavy or fine-textured soil. Too much water can cause water quality and grass problems, increasing the chance of fungus, or runoff and leaching of nutrients. And, it’s a waste of our precious water resources.
Make sure the unleaded petrol in your Honda lawnmower is no more than 45 days old. To extend the fuel’s shelf life, try a fuel stabilizer such as Honda’s Fuel Stabilizer. These products slow the aging process of the fuel.
Turning your Honda lawnmower sharply may scalp your grass! Be sure to make wide turns.
Grass clippings and debris that build up on the underside of the Honda Lawnmower deck can hamper performance. Be sure to clean the underside of the deck and blades periodically. (see owner's manual for proper procedure)
To enhance the appearance of your lawn, don’t forget to alternate your mowing pattern. This will help keep your grass from getting wear patterns or a dull appearance.
