the knowledge on how to maintain and care about the garden
| 1. | Grass cutting- Regular mowing is a basic requirement for any lawned area and will ensure that it does not look untidy. Grass needs to be cut regularly during the growing season and kept to a manageable length. A maximum grass length of about 5 cm (approx. 2 inches) is preferable. Domestic lawnmowers will not cope with long grass so it is important you begin cutting while the grass is short. |
