Lawn cutting HELP

2questions please.

1. Do you mow over crocus leaves or leave like daffs for 6 weeks.
2. When can I mow a 8 week old turfed lawn and when can I put fertaliser on?

 

Hi there

1. Yes leave the crocus leaves to die back naturally. The corms/bulbs need feeding by the leaves, to produce flowers next year.

2. If the ground was prepared well prior to turfing, and the turf good quality it should not need fertilizer for good while. Everything needs to bed in. Watering during dry spells may be required. When cutting, wait til there is quite a bit of new growth, and then mow with the blades set at the highest level.

 

Thanks
