Q Far A THREE-IN-ONE OPTION
The good news for home handymen who like tools to have more than one use is a handy item that gives weekend gardeners a three-in-one option. Aptly called a three-in-one mulching mower, it offers home gardeners who want to collect their grass clippings a side discharge option. With the chamber closed for mulching, the ingenious mower will cut clippings so finely that the tiny particles of grass quickly filter down to the soil and decompose, returning nitrogen to the soil and fertilizing it each time you mow.
