Did similar thing for years when mowing yards. Only would go around the edges throwing the grass to the inside instead of catching it. Would also edge first and used going around the edges to pickup and throw the clippings to the inside. Then Muich.
It helped because I would only mow yards that people would let me mow every week whether they thought it needed it or not. Charged half the going rate so it was the same money for them. That way not only did mulching work and look better, it would only take me 20 minutes to mow most yards instead of over an hour.
Took care of 45 yards. At $7 to $10 a lawn, $400 was a great weekly income for back then. I also worked 2 part time jobs at $2.50 an hour and installed sound systems for $25 an hour (whole house/office sound systems with speakers and controls in every room). Did the sound systems in a bank and several restaurants. One restaurant even made a big deal about it's sound system and used a reel to reel.
Did all that so I did NOT have to get a student loan for college.
