This is the reason why your lawn mower grass cuttings are clumping — and the simple fix to solve it

Mowing lawn.

With warmer weather finally here, you'll want to make sure your lawn is in good shape for the summer. And while regular mowing and leaving some grass cuttings on the lawn afterwards is a great way to fertilize and put nutrients back into the soil, you could also face the issue of clumping.
