If I leave the grass uncut...
Jim [email protected] wrote in message ... ...for a couple of months (say) what are the long-term implications. 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. thanks for any thoughts Hello Jim, I agree with the others, but would add that you will need to feed it after cutting it. If you just cut off all the *green* summer growth which has been feeding your lawn, the remaining *yellow* grass will struggle to photosynthesize. You will have starved your lawn on a grand scale, in other words. As it will be late summer/autumn by then, you will need to apply an autumn feed, which will feed and strengthen the grass ready for the onslaught of winter. If you try to use up a spring feed, for example, it will contain more nitrogen. This will produce lots of sappy growth which will be damaged by the first frosts. Spider |
