    6 inches I bet.

    Unless its that elephant grass stuff that some farmers have started growing. Then I reckon 6.5 inches.

    Typical bookmaker, not giving the full facts before the bet

    How high was it AFTER the cut ?

    Anyway, can I have EW on 4" and 5.25"

        I have a wooden slatted table and chairs on the lawn. The grass is always several inches longer under the table. It obviously likes to be in the shade. (maybe I should cut the grass more often - or grandson wears out the accessible grass!)
