Grass cutting

[jimbeekeeper]

Has anyone cut their grass (lawn) this year already?

If it stays dry over night might dragg the old lawn mower out tommorow and give it a quick high cut.

NOOOOOOOOOO dont cut it itll only grow again. My pet hate is cutting grass.

I like a nice tidy lawn and am itching to get cutting it again, but dont want to be the first on the road to do it!

It is easy with a ride on mower so not that much of a chore

I am trying to be more green and not cut it so much and let the weeds grow, including the clover and dandelion so that my bees are even happier. I don't like doing it. I am going to set the cutter higher when I do cut it. At the moment the guinea pigs are keeping it short.

i have a female dog so not much grass has survived, not so much cutting as reseeding

I cut my grass on high and do not collect the cutting, therfore saving on land fill/ petrol to take to land fill + it fertilises the lawn.

I also leave a few sections uncutt

But I do have one bit that a look after very nice

Got mine cut last saturday as the good lady was moaning she wanted it done.

 

[jimbeekeeper]

Cut my grass today, and very pleased I am.

Now on the slippery slope of cutting the grass

You might ease off on the grass cutting afterwards, I have left the top half of my lawn to do its own thing.

I have a female dog also , she's ruined the back garden lawn.
I have 2 front lawns one of which is seeded with that special quick growing grass that's been around for a few years.
I wouldn't recommend it for a bowling green but I've found it highly resistant to Sashas' attentions Yes I have cut my lawns (Thursday)

No grass to cut here but we are involved in major gardening as we have a huge slope behind the property, some 60 degrees of. The plan for that is some apple trees and then undersow with a stabalising grass, which will not be cut. The builders have made a retaining wall for us and we are going to move some earth about to make some veggie beds.
