Tips on lawn care
Mowing
Lawns consist of various grass
types. Frequent mowing promotes
the growth of grass, resulting in
strong roots and a firm sward. If
you seldom cut the grass, you will
enhance the development of high
growing types of grass and other
weeds, (such as clover, daisies).
The normal height of a lawn is
approx. 4
—
5 cm. Only
1
/3
of the
total height should be mown;
therefore cut 7
—
8 cm long grass to
normal height. Try not to cut the
grass shorter than 4 cm,
otherwise the lawn will suffer
during dry periods. If the grass has
grown particularly high (for
example, during a holiday period),
cut it back to its normal height in
