I side discharge and take a leaf blower to any clumps. Mulching zoysia just clogs and ruins the lawn. I am tempted to bag during rain season cuz the clippings overwhelm the lawn but I am too lazy.

Weirdly, had totally forgotten that there is such a thing as side discharge. Guess mine is a mulcher. :-)

If the clippings are long, are allowed to accumulate atop a thickness of thatch that does not allow rain/watering to absorb and if there isn’t routine aeration, then bag: so says this Hawaii & Oklahoma MG…. No expert just seems rational from my knowledge base…
