When can you go out and cut the grass?

Apart from the fact that my neighbours would think I'd gone mad. But when's the earliest you can do it without harming the grass. I don't want the first cut to be left until i's very too long, as I use a hand push mower, and if it's too long, I end up with quite a few stalks sticking up that just refuse to be cut. Did mine on Thursday afternoon. A bit higher cut than usual - 50mm. I've been waiting for weeks for it to be dry enough to cut. I won't even contemplate how much moss there is underneath all the grass... I've a big tub of ferrous sulphate, so I can stay pretty much moss-free. It does mean that the sparse patches are more noticeable, though. That's the nice thing about a hover, cut the grass whenever you like, wet or dry I do miss that, but the garage is full of stuff, and I can't accomodate another mower. I've had a few hovers, of course, but finally got fed up of having to drag them around (I've never had one that actually hovered) and got a push mower a few years ago. I was a bit worried, because my only previous experience was when my dad used to make me cut the grass with his rusty one when I was a boy. When my new one arrived, I was actually amazed to discover how easy it is, and so light, and easy to get out and put away. On the other hand, you do need to keep the blades oiled, and it obviously wouldn't be suitable for a really big lawn. The grass seems healthier now. I always leave the cuttings on, and it doesn't cause any problems (I'm hoping it sort of feeds the grass), and I think the sharper cut helps, too. |
