Now here’s a thought. The lawn looks a bit messy with worm casts and uneven growth.
But it’s frost free, there’s no hint of snow for the next few days, so, might I venture forth with the mower?
Not to perform a proper trim, but just to ‘knock the whiskers off’ as they say.
February, but you could trim the lawn on a fine day
Well, yes you can, but make sure you take the tiniest snippet. The garden will look far better for it, but we’re not out of the woods yet, snow and ice can, probably will, return.
And if you take too much off it will harm the growth when Spring does appear.
All that’s presuming that the mower is serviced and raring to go, with the cutting deck cleaned out and fresh petrol in the tank.
If you’ve read these blogs lately you’ve have seen Master Blogger Drew urging you to service your mower and a picture of an old rusting wreck of a machine that’s had its last.
Believe it or not we have a few old relics brought in to us every year to see if there is any life left in the old dog. The answer is almost always, sorry, no.
