Fall has arrived which means the lawn mowing season is (finally) coming to
an end. The question I have is what is better for a lawn - to mow one last
time and leave the grass short through the winter or not to mow and leave
longer blades for the grass to get started with next spring??

TIA for any advice.



Keep your lawn mowed. Remove the leaves and add them to the compost
pile. Test your soil and add lime if needed. Aerate if your soil is
compacted. Overseed. Use a slow release fertilizer. Fall is the
busiest season for lawn care, and you will see results next spring for
the work done now.
