I've done this.
Use the blower to move any piles of leaves. A few here and there aren't a problem, but if you can see the grass, you can't cut the grass.
Set the blade height as high as you can.
Overlap your lines more than normal to have the mower hit your clippings.
Run the blower again to distribute any clumps.
Wait a week and then do it one more time, even if the grass hasn't grown.
Better to do it on dry, sunny days, if you have the option.
@themeatbridge @g8phcon2 That last bit is locale-specific. If I mow on dry, sunny days now, I get dry, dead grass.
That's a good point, I was assuming a temperate climate, and wet leaves and grass will kill whatever is under it. If you live in a hotter, drier climate, the clippings will dry out on their own.
