What does Iowa State University Extension and Outreach say about mowing your lawn?

✅ Mow high
✅ Never remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade at a time
✅ Leave grass clippings on the lawn
✅ Keep mower blades sharp

A taller lawn develops deeper roots and is better able to withstand heat and drought. 💧☀️
