[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 1434609, member: 17304"] The OP"s grass at 4" was probably too short to clip in this instance. But lets say for the sake of argument that it was a foot tall and he goes in and clips it down to 6 to 8 inches....what has he lost? With any moisture at all its going to grow right back within 2 or 3 weeks. What has he gained? lots of plant food has been added to the soil that you can't get out of a fertilize buggy. More robust root system because it hasn't been cut down to the ground. If he has fescue it will thicken up. We seem to be conditioned to take and take from the soil but never give back.....except in the form of artificial, acidic "plant food" which is very expensive. :2cents: [/QUOTE]
