With the rain still bucketing down in most areas of the country the grass is growing really quickly and with a forecast predicting warmer and drier weather in a few weeks, the first time you cut the lawn will be a bit of a struggle.
That’s where a strong 4 in 1 mower will help as it has three ways of disposing of the cuttings and lets you cut longer areas as well by discharging to the side and rear.
A work of advice – don’t use the mulching function on these mowers for a while.
Mulching trims the cuttings to the size of tea leaves and puts them back on the lawn where they rot away to form a valuable fertilizer.
But if you mulch when the grass is wet you’re likely to end up with a lot of green gunge and leave the lawn looking a bit of a mess!
