Default Mowing a recently sown lawn


"LETMO" wrote in message
...

I seeded a lawn (from scratch) about 3 weeks ago. The grass is
now
between about 7 & 13 cm high. Should I give it its first mow or
wait a
while longer?

Also there is a certain patchiness (I probably could have
distributed
the seeds a little more evenly); will this even out over time or
are
there some measures I should take?

Thanks in advance,

LETMO.

I'm no expert, but I have read years ago, that one should mow newly
seeded grass as soon as there is something to mow, and raise the
mower for the second mowing, etc until you have grass at the desired
height. This is supposed to help the grass spread.
