The first lawn cut

Phil was thinking with all this terrible weather we've had it would be interesting to map the first lawn cuts around Britain, a bit similar o the members map would be a good guide in diff parts of the country,and how it has all affected us.Think it needs to be when you think it's ok to cut not the customer, and not just from a financial point of viewWhat do you think Phil is this possible to set up ???

    did my back lawns first cut on sunday, we have had it wet in the midlands but the water has moved quick and in our village (outside rugby) the grass is growing mad already

  • Agree with the mild winter lot of growth but need a few more dry days to start
  • Did my fist last week, Had a dry day on an open coastal site. ground was good and the sward was nice and dry. Blade on my mower was like a razor too. It came up really nice. North Somerset for your map Chris.

    I can see you thinking Chris but this would be hard to maintain.

  • See your point I'm amazed there has been cuts allready

    I'm in NE Somerset, grass is long enough that it needs cutting but it's just a bit too wet, not growing fast yet but feels like it's on edge.

  • Was tempted to cut my own lawns on the weekend as the grass is growing like mad but didnt get round to it in the end. Wont be starting domestic customers until March and with commercial re starting in April. (Mid Wales)

    I've always been one for cutting lawns as and when they needed it. I had a rule of never removing more than one third of the leaf blade at any one time. Unless the lawn surface had a covering of snow or there was a deep penetrating frost or the too much water in the soil, I'd cut my lawn all year round.

    I'd just space the cuts according to the conditions. The result was a much easier lawn surface to manage come the strong growing period.
