Lawn cutting

lindapalmara · February 2016

Is it too early to cut the lawn. With the warm spell in December it grew quite a bit and I've seen my neighbour doing his. Is it too early?

It doesn't matter about the date if the lawn needs cutting and the conditions are right. Don't cut it if it's wet underfoot or if there's a frost forecast within the next few days.

Otherwise go ahead, but not too short, just take a little off to start with.

That's good Verdun, do you power off and re boot every so often on your iPad, that works for many little aggros that sometimes arise?

Hi here in Derbyshire like everywhere its been so wet but my grass has grown

so much this year its ready for mowing now.

I have decided to wait for a couple of dry days then mow lightly with a Hover mower with the blade set high.Later on I will use my cylinder mower to get a

better cut,but not yet.so don't worry it should be ok to go ahead.

Hmmm - just looked at the Met Office website - here in Norfolk we're in for a few frosts over the next few nights.

Check for your area before mowing. It's not a disaster if your grass gets frosted after cutting, but it will 'scorch' the cut ends and turn them brown so it won't look brilliant.
