AI Overview
Generally, it's not recommended to cut wet grass. Wet grass can lead to a poor cut, clogging the mower, and potential damage to the lawn and mower. It's best to wait until the grass and soil are dry before mowing.
Here's why you should avoid mowing wet grass:
-
Wet grass can be torn or ripped, and the clumps of clippings can smother and kill patches of lawn.
-
Wet soil is more susceptible to compaction, which can damage the lawn and make it harder for the grass to grow.
-
Wet grass can make the lawn slippery, increasing the risk of falls and injuries while mowing.
-
Wet grass can promote the spread of lawn diseases.
-
Wet grass can strain the mower's engine and blades, potentially causing damage.
-
Wet grass tends to bend over, making it difficult for the mower blades to cut cleanly and evenly.
-
Wet grass clippings clump together, clogging the mower deck and reducing its effectiveness.
