Frequent mowing
encourages dense growth, so mow
once a week when grass is growing
strong. Don't mow grass if it's
growing slow maybe due to a drought
for example. Don't cut your lawn
to short; about half an inch is
fine if you have a very flat fine
lawn. This is common mistake lawn
owners make, wanting it as low as
possible so it wont need cutting
for a few weeks or more.
If you want a weed free green lawn
then cut the lawn often and not
to low. A lawn that sees a lot of
traffic on it, like children playing
then this should be cut at no less
than one inch. When your grass is
growing rapidly in summer try to
rake the lawn once a month. This
will bring out thatch and dead moss,
which if left builds up and you
find you have brown patches on your
lawn.
