Topical Lawn Mowing Tips from GreenThumb
| Published: 27th August 2007 23:26 |
REAL SUMMER WEATHER IS FORECAST AT LAST!
The grass has been growing very fast for most of the Summer in the unusually wet weather: a sudden dry spell will come as a surprise, and your turf will need a little more TLC!
- NEVER MOW MORE THAN ONE THIRD OF THE GRASS HEIGHT IN ONE CUT
- IN WARM DRY WEATHER LIFT YOUR CUTTING HEIGHT TO THE TOP HEIGHT YOUR MOWER CAN DO
- THIS PROTECTS IN HOT SUN AND REDUCES MOISTURE EVAPORATION FROM THE SOIL
- CHECK YOUR MOWER BLADES: ARE THEY PITTED OR BLUNT?
- WHITE TIPS ON THE GRASS BLADE IS A SURE SIGN THAT SHARPENING WOULD HELP
- MOWING HIGH AND OFTEN REALLY THICKENS THE GRASS
- WATER IF IS STAYS DRY FOR LONG - NO SHORTAGES THIS YEAR!
