If you are mulching you need to be sure you are not cutting too much grass off. If your grass gets too high and you try to mulch your mower will bog down. I like the look of mulched St Augustine lawns. Mulching allows you to control where the clipping go. (Actually the almost disappear) Side discharging can make a mess sometimes if you are not careful.

Guess what I really mean is should I use the regular blades or gator blades for mulching? Where does one buy the mulching plug??
