MOWING: GENERAL INFORMATION

THE 1/3 RULE

This is the key to enjoyable mowing and a healthy lawn.

1.The lawn should be mowed regularly, at least once a week during the growing season.

2.Be guided by observing the lawn and taking care not to remove more than 1/3 of the total height of the turf at any mowing.

3.Following this rule will stimulate the turf’s root growth, maintain its health, and encourage its natural ability to crowd out unwanted weeds.

If the lawn has become too high (over 4 inches in height) then it is best to set the mower higher than usual and mow, then reset down to the normal level and mow again within a day or two.

Removing too much of the turf’s height, especially in the heat of summer, can cause root shock and weaken the lawn; bringing down the height by successive mowings over two or more days can avoid this damage and maintain the health of the turf.

If the lawn is overgrown (to higher than 4-5 inches) it may be advisable to use a brush cutter to remove the excess turf mass before resuming mowing at normal heights.
