7 tips to help you get through this weekend's lawn mowing.
- Do not mow the lawn when it is wet.
- Avoid mowing the grass too short; this is especially the case in winter months. Longer grass usually has a deeper root system, meaning that the lawn is healthier and looks better.
- When mowing your lawn cut a maximum of one third of the grasses length.
- Ensure that your lawn mowers blades are sharp. Its also a good idea to have spare sharp blades on hand so you can make a quick switch when older blades get blunt.
- Try to mow the grass in a different direction each time. The variations in directions can actually help the lawn grow more upright as its less likely for the grass to grow in the pattern set by the lawn mower.
- Maintain your lawn mower. Its recommended to keep your lawn mower clean and in good nick.
- There can be benefits of leaving lawn mowing clippings on the lawn. They add nutrients back to the lawn as they decompose.
