How often should grass be Cut?
Mowing grass is more than maintaining your lawn's appearance and health. It isn't necessary to trim your grass as frequently during the dormant time as you would in the growing season. However, this frequency varies based on the type of grass that is on your lawn. Maintaining your grass at the right height and making sure that you don't take it away all at once is essential to maintain your lawn's health and its green cooler.
What is the best time to mow?
The grass needs to be mowed the most frequently during summer, which is the time when it gets a lot of growth. For grasses with warm seasons, it's summer, while cool-season grasses develop in the fall and spring instead. Leave grass clippings on your lawn -insofar they're not damp and heavy for fertilizing your lawn. The clippings could be as high as 3-4 percent nitrogen as well as 2.5 up to 3.5 percent potassium.
The frequency of mowing
The pace of growth and the desired height of your lawn will determine the frequency at which you must mow. In general, mowing once a week during the growing season will suffice to ensure that your lawn is healthy. For the rest of the year, you could reduce cut frequency down to every each week, if needed.
One Third Rule
It is tempting to cut down the lawn that is overgrown, cutting off the majority of grass blades in a single session however, it can strain the grass. Cutting too much grass in one go removes the grass's parts that produce food which starve the lawn and causes it to turn brown. When you trim your lawn, only remove one-third from the blades one at a. If you require cutting more than this, you should mow your lawn frequently till it is the level you prefer, but never cut more than a third at a time.
Lawn Heights
Before you cut, make sure that your grass is tall enough to justify the decision. Cutting too short grass can cause weak root systems that aren't able to absorb water or fertilizer. The result is sloppy grass unless you flood the soil with fertilizer and water. The optimal length for healthy grass would be 3-1/2 inches tall enough to grow solid, deep roots.
