Murulõiked

Murulõiked, meaning "lawn mowing" in Estonian, refers to the process of cutting grass in a lawn. This practice is essential for maintaining the aesthetic appeal and health of a residential or commercial lawn. Regular mowing helps to prevent grass from growing too long, which can make it appear untidy and can also inhibit its ability to absorb sunlight and nutrients effectively.

The frequency of mowing typically depends on factors such as the type of grass, the season, and weather conditions. During warmer months with ample rainfall, grass grows more rapidly, necessitating more frequent cutting. Conversely, in cooler or drier periods, growth slows, and mowing can be done less often.

Different types of lawnmowers exist, ranging from manual reel mowers to powered rotary mowers, including push mowers, self-propelled mowers, and robotic mowers. The choice of mower often depends on the size of the lawn, personal preference, and physical ability. The height at which grass is cut, known as the mowing height, is also a critical aspect. Cutting the grass too short can stress the plants, making them susceptible to diseases and weeds, while cutting it too long can lead to uneven growth and a less desirable appearance. Proper lawn mowing practices contribute significantly to a healthy and attractive landscape.
