I assume that you are referring to the accumulation of thatch that can build up from leaving clippings on a lawn?<br /><br />If using a good quality lawnmower that has been designed to 'mulch', the mulched clippings will not be creating thatch. As long as you have your cutting height set correctly, the clippings should be very small and will quickly decompose. Problems arise when long grass is left on the surface of the lawn. This can create a matted layer of thatch and encourage moss growth.<br /><br />I hope this answers your question.The Gardeners Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553228457885348785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363473103730988751.post-71761532962303733312012-04-02T14:34:37.657-07:002012-04-02T14:34:37.657-07:00In one part of this article, it is recommended tha...In one part of this article, it is recommended that the lawn is scarified and aerated, but this seems to go against the next recommendation which is to use a mulching mower leaving the grass under the finished lawn.
