When grass is mowed, especially if it is cut short and the soil becomes exposed, a significant amount of moisture is lost. Leaving the clippings on the lawn acts as mulch, helping to reduce soil exposure and retain moisture. As the clippings dry, a large portion of their nitrogen content is lost through various pathways, such as volatilization (release of ammonia gas) and microbial decomposition. Essentially, the clippings transition from being nitrogen-rich green material to carbon-rich brown material. However, most other nutrients, such as phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients, are largely retained in the clippings.

My wife forces me to bag them because of her "allergies".
I heard NOTHING of ridding your lawn of this scourge. Zero impact message.

Thank you for the feedback! This video was designed to educate on the life cycle of this particular weed, as we get a lot of calls to treat it in the spring/summer, but the best treatment is preventative. When you see it, the damage is done! As you probably know, poa is found in all parts of the world and treated differently on different types of lawns and green spaces. There is not a single broadband way to eliminate or prevent this weed, but we'd be happy to provide you with some solutions if you tell us a little bit more about your lawn.

@greenswardsolutions recommendations for local shops that can sharpen reels?

Hi there, sorry for the delayed reply -- we didn't see this comment until today! Generally, your local golf course superintendents may have the best resources for getting reels sharpened. We don't have local service providers, but if you hook up with a superintendent or maintenance department at a course, they may be able to put you in touch with the company that handles their reels.
