Mowing thickens the blades, improves their condition, and also makes the green carpet look neat. Sometimes, however, we can overdo it, and after mowing our lawn can suffer. Here are the reasons why it is better to leave the grass a little longer.
How to mow the grass? Do it less often and you will forget about dry patches
Some people love this activity, others hate it. Mowing the lawn is essential if we want it to look nice. However, it is better not to take out the mower too often, because we can damage our lawn.

Excessive and frequent lawn trimming has a negative impact on the soil it grows on. Short blades cause it to lose moisture faster, which in turn causes the grass begins to dry out or dry patches form on it. It is also worth remembering that the lawn is a place where insects live, and if we mow it short, we will deprive it of shelter for butterflies and pollinating insects. After mowing, it should ideally be 3 to 4 cm.
ADVICE! During drought, you should not mow the grass low, but you should also pay attention to the watering times. It is better not to water it when the sun is high, because it is a short way to burn the blades. It is best to do it in the morning or evening.
When is it not allowed to mow the grass? Do not do it at these times. It is a short way to a fungal disease
The lawn should be mowed in an overlapping pattern, this way we will not miss any spots. Do not use a lawn mower on wet blades of grass as this will increase the risk of fungal diseases.. So we shouldn’t take out the mower early in the morning or late in the evening when the lawn is wet. In summer, it’s best to mow the grass when it reaches a height of about 10 cm.
