@homegrownhowto: Keep ‘em sharp. Sharpening your lawn mower blade is important for several reasons: 1. **Healthier Lawn**: A sharp blade cuts grass cleanly, which promotes a healthier lawn. Clean cuts heal faster and reduce the risk of disease, pests, and fungal growth. 2. **Efficiency**: A sharp blade requires less power to cut grass, which makes the mower operate more efficiently. This results in less strain on the mower’s engine and potentially lower fuel or electricity consumption. 3. **Aesthetics**: A sharp blade provides a more uniform and attractive cut, improving the overall appearance of your lawn. A dull blade tears the grass, causing a ragged, uneven look. #lawn #lawntips #lawnandgarden #homegrown #homegrownhowto #lawncare #sharp #greenthumb #greengrass
