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. The chap who does my garden treated the lawn to kill the moss last year. Now there is a bald patch. I preferred the moss! Steve Over the last few years, since I've tried to keep the moss away completely, I've sort of noticed that over winter, there is certainly more bare soil. I find that the patches soon grow over, though. Less of a pain than moss, IMHO. |
