Hi All just has a lawn turfed and how long does it take to mow it. I know
its been sunny and no rain. i have been hosing it nightly. The garden now
is growing very fast and looks like it will be cut in a few weeks. how
long shall i wait to cut it

TIA

With turfed, as soon as you like once it starts growing. It's seeded lawns
you need to be a bit more careful with. However, I would set it for a long
cut for now - The root system is growing and more leaf area = more energy
from the sun converted.

Good idea to keep it watered as you are doing until it bonds properly with
the original soil under the new turfs.
