Abstract
A power lawn mower of a mulching type with no opening for releasing mowed pieces sidewardly and having a housing with a short peripheral side wall with an inwardly protruding at a rear substantially half portion of a lower edge of the peripheral wall in the direction of forward movement of the lawn mower. The protruding portion temporarily retains mowed lawn pieces, or cuttings within the housing for chopping by a cutter rotatable in the housing. Chopped lawn pieces or cuttings are dropped through a lawn drop opening defined by the peripheral wall and deposited between blades of the cut lawn grass. The moved pieces are chopped to a moderate extent and dropped through the blades of the cut lawn grass to promote growth of the lawn grass.
