We have sown a new lawn in the garden of our recently acquired house
approximately 8 weeks ago. Despite a dry spell for the first week or two,
it has greened beautifully, and the sward is now nice and lush mostly
everywhere, about 10 to 12 cm in height. There are a few slightly bare
patches, in which we have been advised to sow some extra seed - this was
done yesterday, after extensive weed pulling.
It seems to me that the lawn now needs its first mowing. I have also heard
that mowing the lawn helps it establish, and chokes up weeds.
Can anyone tell us whether it is indeed time to mow it, and are there any
tips for the first time mow(s) ? Will mowing do anything undesirable to the
newly seeded bareish patches?
Thanks in advance for any help!
