Default When can you go out and cut the grass?

earliest you can do it without harming the grass. I don't want the
first cut to be left until i's very too long, as I use a hand push
mower, and if it's too long, I end up with quite a few stalks sticking
up that just refuse to be cut.


Did mine on Thursday afternoon. A bit higher cut than usual - 50mm. I've
been waiting for weeks for it to be dry enough to cut.

I won't even contemplate how much moss there is underneath all the grass...


I've a big tub of ferrous sulphate, so I can stay pretty much moss-free.
It does mean that the sparse patches are more noticeable, though.
