Though now I hired my neighbors kid to cut it for 30 bucks. Kid does a good job and he was persistent when he talked to the girl and I. Even said he would cut the first time for free. Good kid, and hard working. Always will support that.
Because he initially felt badly about banging your wife.

I'll mow to where all the clippings get blown in a pile, then I'll rake it up and put it in the compost tumbler with wood, kitchen scraps, spent grain from brewing, etc. It makes awesome compost.

If you don’t want to spread weeds, bag it.
If you’re waiting long enough between cuttings for it to head out with seeds, you’re not in this conversation.

Virg buttonweed excluded, of course.

mulch it. frick a bagger. As that bag loads up it adds weight to the back wheels and cuts lower and lower as it fills.

No, but as the bag gets heavier with filling up with grass clippings it makes the back wheels sink further into the turf.

Mulch when mowing often. Bag if I let it go too long or if wet.

I usually bag it and use clippings to mulch my garden. Once mulch gets about 6 inches high I no longer have to water my plants.

I am not sure what the lawn service does. I never see any clippings.

Bag if it's super long, but no time for all of that every time!
