Mowing

When the grass starts to reach about 3 inches, it will need to be cut and trimmed. Brush off any wormcasts before you mow.

Make sure the blades of the mower are set high so they trim off about 1 inch. Gradually lower the cutting height over the next few mows until it is cutting the grass back to 1.5inches. If lawn is mowed too short, this will results in thin and dying grass, shallow root systems, less green.

Collect lawn clippings from the early cuts, or you always make your own compost.

And more importantly, always, be sure to mow with a sharp mower blade whereby the cut should be clean with no shredding or tearing of the grass blade.
