Do you have oak trees? I need to reread the manual that came with the lawnmower, but they advise treating the trees in the spring to alter the pH of the leaves IF you plant to use the mower to mulch the leaves. I'm wondering if acid/base exposure pits the aluminum undercarriage of the mower.
I always hose-clean the mower after use, but maybe that's not enough. And if I do risk damaging my not-cheap mower by mulching leaves, I'd rather just play it safe and rake the things. Gives me something to do when I'm outside watching the Boyz brutalize one another.
