How to Sharpen Lawn Mower Blades

I found this video on Youtube about how to sharpen your lawn mower blades because it's important is the mowing season takes off.

It's important to keep your blades sharpened for a number of reasons.

One of those is because when you cut grass with dull blades, instead of making a clean cut, a dull blade will tear the grass, and this will leave your lawn vulnerable to diseases!

Plus it just looks better when you get a clean smooth cut.




Now, one of the things he mentions in the video is that he likes to mow when it is raining or after a fresh rain.

I've heard different. I've heard that this is not good for your mower, so I avoid it if I can.

It's just something I will have to do some more research on, but feel free to leave a comment below to share what you think or know:
