Did my final cut the other day when it hadnt rained for a day or so, it's mainly to stop your leccy mower blowing itself up.

Tbf, the dog has destroyed my grass anyway, there's more patches than grass. Think I'll just get a gyppo in to tarmac it, easier :rolleyes:

I used to DETEST cutting the grass until I bit the bullet and invested in a decent petrol mower; prior to that I'd been struggling with Flymo's because I believed all of the hype!

A proper metal-decked petrol mower turns cutting the grass into a dream (and every man loves petrol powered tools!), in the summer I got slightly obsessive and I was doing the front and back twice a week and our lawn now looks like a bowling green :D

I even ended up buying a petrol strimmer and hedge cutter, again it turned a arduous task into a fun one!

I employer a gardener. I hate doing lawns etc. Plus, it keeps it done.

On of our neighbours filed a complaint with our letting agent after some rain spells in the Spring when our front lawn got to about 4" long and I'd been abroad so hadn't been able to do it. So that kind of made us take that route.

We are both approaching 30 years old and are the youngest people on our road by a long way though... :lol:

Back on topic need to do ours but can't be arsed when it won't stop pissing it down every 5 minutes

I but mine at the weekend with a petrol mower :)

Yep, and calling you a weirdo behind closed doors.

The whole street WILL be tutting at you :lol:

As Kyle and Mark has mentioned, it's about 10inches long :lol: and needs its last cut.
I have an electric flymo so will wait it out some more for a couple of dry days.

A bit embarrassing though :rolleyes:

Cutting the grass after it's rained is fine. We cut the grass while it's raining sometimes. If it's too wet can just churn up the grass and leave marks. It does clog your mower up as well. For what it's worth I'd wait till we have a couple of dry days.

Mines due it's last cut. I'll get the petrol mower out as soon as we have a couple of dry days.

Cut it when you want really the only risk is damage to your mower or strimmer,doesn`t grow so much in the winter months as there`s less heat/sun that`s all.

I doubt it'll do the grass any harm but if you are using an electric mower that blows the cuttings into the box clearly you are going to have problems.

Tbh if its just dew it may cut better. Like wet hair.

I've found that cutting wet grass just isn't worth the effort, it just clogs up everything in the mower and it dullens the blades too.

I've always thought it's more to do with puny electric lawnmowers. I cut mine no matter how wet it is with the petrol one.

You can, but its a pain in the Arse, and won't look great.

Depends how wet it is. If it's a little damp, it'll be fine. If it's soaking, don't bother.

Bit late now to be cutting grass anyway.

I've been meaning to cut the grass for for the last 2 months but each day it's rained and I've always been led to believe you can't cut the grass when it's wet.

Is there any truth in this? Anyone tried it recently?
