Of course it will be unsightly and could present the mower with an initial problem when finally getting round to being cut but what about the long-term implications for the grass itself? Will it recover if subsequently given its due attention. Lawns are funny things. The mix of species depends in part on the mowing regimen -- frequent mowing discourages the coarser species and encourages finer species. So at a guess, your lawn will be less sward-like afterwards. If this prospect troubles you, find someone to mow it weekly while you are sailing around the world. -- Rodger Whitlock, Victoria, BC, Canada "Listening to the [Opus Clavicembalisticum] is much like Mussolini is alleged to have reported about governing the Italians: it's not impossible, just POINTLESS." ----Jeffrey Friedman, 2004/06/24 |
