If the grass is really long (like not mowed in a while) i'll use a bagger and mow twice.

If the lawn is being mowed once a week or regularly, no bagger.

It is good to mow regularly without a bagger because the grass acts as a natural fertilizer.

I only run my vacuum/bagger in the fall for leaf season. Gator G6's take care of the really long grass in the summer

I use my Caftsman GT5000 with a Cyclone Rake on it for fall leaf pick-up.

The only other time I'll use a bagging/vacuum system.

No.

Baggers look like too much effort with little reward, at least to me.

I don't let my grass get long and when the leaves start dropping they get mowed into little bitty pieces.

No need to bag.

Waste if time and energy.
And there is no need to bag

I mow in some of them, but when they decide to let loose, I could have a foot or more and I am not mowing that acidic mess into my lawn. Bag and drop in compost pile. Only bag in fall and first cut of the season (after I de thatch), then the bagger is retired again until fall. Vacuum also does a great job of ridding my lawn of thousands of acorns in the fall

I always bag my grass. I know that I shouldn't though...

What I should do is, don't bag unless the grass clippings are highly visible on the lawn.

I have a mulching blade on my Bolens. I have yet to go find a mulching blade for my cheap *** Weed Eater mower.
