| Mow as often as possible | |
 |
At least every 4 or 5 days, then it takes less time and the lawn will develop a denser sward. |
|
If possible, cut in a different direction to the previous cut. |
|
Cutting height for an average lawn should be no lower than 20mm. |
|
Most lawns have some unevenness and if the cutting height is kept to 20mm it will not scalp the high spots. |
|
Always remove the clippings. This is called “boxing off” that cuts down the development of thatch which is a layer of dead decaying vegetation. If grass clippings are left on the lawn it will encourage fungal attacks and worm activity. Boxing off will also lessen the spread of broad-leafed weeds and some small leafed weeds like Speedwells which are reproduced by vegetative means. |
|
Choice of mower For best finish, buy the best cylinder mower you can afford or a good quality rotary such as a Honda with roller. |
