When would be time to start grass cutting? I'm only asking as my lawn is looking really long. I haven't heard any lawnmowers yet. I don't want to burn the grass either if there is frost expected at the weekend. Thanks.
You can start now as long as the lawn isn't to boggy. Adjust your mower for a higher cut for the first one though, so it doesn't scalp it. I've done mine this week.
We've had a number of threads about this in the last month so you may want to have a look at them under 'Lawns'. I cut mine a few weeks ago. As long as there is no frost on it (or due within the next day or so) and it's not too soggy, as Sheal has said, it should be OK. Not everyone on here agrees but most do.
Not a real problem for me as I did a last cut when it stopped growing, and at about 1.5" Now it is starting to grow again bright green shoots, so I it gets to 2.5" I will do a cut down to 1.5" if there is no fear of frost Jack McHammocklashing
