That reduces visible clippings and lessens the need for bagging, while leaving organic matter that decomposes and contributes nutrients. Performance depends on blade sharpness, cutting height and grass condition, so for best results use a sharp blade and avoid cutting overly wet turf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduces finer clippings that return nutrients to the lawn\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces the need to collect clippings with a bagger\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks best with properly sharpened blades and appropriate deck height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the construction and durability features I should know about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate is manufactured from durable, water-resistant materials chosen for longevity and resistance to surface corrosion.
