Curious. I have read in some places that mowing a lawn can be good to prevent grassy weeds and in other places that by mowing it weakens the grass and so fertilizing can help keep the lawn well nourished because of injuries such as mowing. I am confused. From my logic, mowing the lawn can only be a bad thing for the lawn since i don’t think in nature it wants to be cut and have to be regrown and by being cut you are more exposed to the air to loose moisture from inside. I can understand that in a controlled way thatching can be a good thing (maintain mosture in the soil because of grass droppings due to mowing) but i dunno.
Can someone explain the benefits of mowing?
