CARE OF THE LAWN AND MOWING

The modern gardening technology has designed and developed labour-saving devices (mower with grass collection bag). For a good, healthy green lawn, it is essential to mow and aerate it regularly.

Fertilising is also essential.

Always make sure the blades are sharp and in perfect conditions to avoid grass fraying and yellowing of the lawn. .

You will achieve a clean cut with regular and straight windrows.

The mowing tracks should always overlap a few centimetres to avoid any uncut strips in between.

Lawn cutting frequency depends on the rate of growth. In the main growing season (May-June) often (twice a week) or at least once a week.The cutting height should be between 4-6 cm. and the growth before the next cut should not be more than 4- 5 cm.

During hot and dry periods, the lawn should be cut 1,5 cm. higher than normal, to avoid ground and root drying out.

If the grass is somewhat higher than normal, you should not make the mistake of cutting it immediately; you can damage the lawn. Do no cut to more than half the necessary height.
