Cutting lawns - why?

Just to note that despite the hot, dry weather and the forecast that this may go on for a long time people are still cutting lawns to almost bare earth for some reason. It's Sunday afternoon, you cut the grass on Sunday afternoon. Just like you wash the car on Saturday morning. B-) I thought you were supposed to raise the blades if you had to cut, but if possible not cut at all once dry weather set in. The blades on our mower are as high as they will go, always. The grass gets cut when it needs it and sometimes not then but it's PITA having to rake if it's so long that you can't use the collection box. Half my lawn gets cut one every two weeks. The other half just grows. You could say that about here, though the cut frequency is rather variable from 6 months (over winter, Oct to Apr) to just a few days if it's warm and wet. The part that is left is doing well this year, grass well over 5' high -- Cheers Dave. |
