: All the turf in my cul de sac was laid on the same day, all my neighbours have weeds - clover, dandylions and docks the area cut by the contractor is the worst affected but I don't have weeds and the only difference between the way I treat my grass and my neghbours is that I set my mower at slightly a higher setting and don't use a grass box as I cut the grass 3+ times a week in the peak growing season. Thanks for this tip (though perhaps not in the way originally intended!) . I'd wondered why my lawn was filling up with grasses, and I was losing the gorgeous patchwork of bugle, clover, primroses, periwinkle and daisies that the previous owner of the house had achieved. Think I must have been mowing too often and too high. I've now got a mower with a grass-catcher, so I will try mowing less regularly (hurray!), and scalping it a bit when I do. I much prefer the 'weeds' to the grass, so the opposite regime to yours sounds like just the thing for me. Victoria |
