What specifically makes up a Mulching Lawnmower ie., special type blade, shape of body housing, etc.?
Moved from the fishin' category (normal restin' place 
) to Lawn & Garden because am hopin' that I can get some professional knowledge/answer as ta' what incorporates this type mower ta' MULCH? Have one (year old 21" Craftsman) and she just don't mulch like she used ta'. Pre- thanks in order ... < ' ( (( > <
Note: Have noticed that some blades have teeth at the ends of em' ~ the Craftsman had none? Common sense tells me that the teeth type would be the better of the two but, what da' H _ _ l've gone this far with the question, soooo might as well see it through and hopefully get word from an experienced Lawn & Mower person.
Can't say I'm a 'professional', but the inner deck is also part of the mulching secret, it creates a vacuum to suspend the grass longer to cut it multiple times., clean the inside of the deck and make sure your blades are sharp and without many major dings. If the decks gunked up or the blades aren't sharp your mower won't mulch well. Also the usual plug, oil, and filter replacement every year helps a lot. Almost forgot your other question. I believe that toothed blades are mostly for heavy cover applications more like making your mower a semi-poor man's twig chipper......
