    I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I’ve been using an absolute hacksaw of a mower blade for years and my grass is thriving, so I have doubts. I think it depends where you draw the line of “significant” but if your standard is “I still have to mow” then I don’t think it matters much

      lol well yea, it usually takes more to outright kill grass, but that doesn’t make it healthy for plants.

      Similar to how tree breaks can be healed. If it’s a ratty strayed mess, it’s much harder on the plant to heal.

      Handheld grass trimmers use plastic cable to cut grass, so yeah, any piece of metal will work, the question is only efficiency (and also apparently grass health, but I just learned about the problem from another comment, so I will read up about it first)
