A grass catching attachment for use on a rear bagger mower has a rearwardly facing grass discharge chute and a bag support for holding disposable plastic garbage bag in position to receive air and grass clippings from the discharge chute. The bag is mounted adjacent a base housing that includes a discharge opening for the grass at its lower portions, and an air outlet at the upper portions which joins to a conduit that directs the return air forwardly of the mower. Thus, any debris, short grass clippings, pollen, dust or the like that might be carried with the air discharging from the bag is firm from the user in front of the mower and recycled through the grass catcher. The bag is held in a basket that permits easy installation and removal, and substantially increases the amount of grass which can be packed into the bag.
