Somebody asked about stripes? Need a mower with a roller. Electric Flymo will do fuck all (except burn out if you're only mowing every six weeks!).

crabzy usually gets hungry being a binman so just get him to eat it when it gets to long be weary he may fertilise your land for you to

Lol at FlymoThrush. :D
Can't cut to an inch? Wimbledon groundskeepers are you listening you spastics?? Stop cutting to 15mm - I know it's in the rules but FlymoThrush will bawl :(

And as for those spastics over at the BBC what do they know - cut to 1 inch, and possibly up to twice a week? What skulduggery is this??

Jazz 16th October 2012 20:39

I'll outdo the lot of you. Amateurs.

What about golf courses?

Their greens seem to manage quite well and there's fuck all grass there.

Jay_ 16th October 2012 21:13

and bowling greens...

Ross 16th October 2012 23:01

All noobs (golf courses, bowling greens etc). Need ankle length grass fot the lawn snakes. That'll spice up an otherwise dull lawn bowls game. Especially when you can't see the fucking balls in the first place, courtesy of said meadow.

I was just going to say this, thousands of courses cut their greens/fairways twice a week... to keep it short..

they leave the deep rough shin deep... to ruin your wrists and score if you should find your ball in it...

They definately don't follow the 6-8 cuts rule..

Infact I'd guess they cut at least that amount of times per month!!

Who'd of known??

I'm still chuckling at this post. Fucking epic tbh.

Anyone getting ready for the first cut of the season? ;) I'm researching V8 monstermowers...

smiith 12th February 2014 21:09

My petrol mower packed in last year, probably buy a cheapo to get me through this year

wullvfr 12th February 2014 21:24

I do this for a living....day in...day out......fucking shoot me now:wall::fcuk:

Just kidding,tbh I love my job,pays the bills anyway.

Scott 12th February 2014 21:29

My lawn appears to have faired quite well. Its been so wet though that its going to need a good scarifying and a some air holing.

Love a good lawn come summer :D

Ross 12th February 2014 21:36

Hate my dogs for churning up the lawn but can't be helped.

Will be getting a gardener in the spring to fix it then maintain it.

Giraffe 12th February 2014 21:36

Glad this was bumped... I will be sure to only give the lawns 6-8 cuts, less work ftmfw

Scott 12th February 2014 21:38

lol last summer when up here we managed to break 15 degrees C for a couple of weeks I was cutting the grass every 3 days to attempt to keep it level!

I think I better reduce the cuts then......maybe I don't know,150+ times is too much.

Whats you advice? I know there is no set time or numbers to cut to.

I keep my grass about 2 to 3 inches in length, its not used for putting or playing bowls on :P Cant remember exactly, i avoid scalping it to avoid sun damage and even more moss growth. Not sure if thats correct though.

wullvfr 12th February 2014 22:03

It all depends on how serious you are about keeping your lawn neat and tidy,I myself just prefer to keep it tidy and don't really worry about it being in tip top condition.

If you're worried about moss you could try feeding it to reduce the moss,improve drainage and give it a light rake every so often(grooming)......

As for the rate of cut its as much as you like,in an ideal world you don't want to take anymore than 1/3 off the grass leaf when you cut,so get to the height you want and stay at that height and cut once a week.......

We cut pretty much as much as we can,but during the winter when the weather is as shit as this we can't really get out on the machines so it doesn't get done as much as we'd like to.

Just read through the thread.....

The stripes you see are caused by the nap of the grass and the light reflecting off it.....

Grass rolled away from you will be light and vice versa.......as has been said a roller will give you this but when you cut with a rotary mower you still get this but not as distinct.

Chr15 12th February 2014 22:38

what he said lol.

we stopped first week of december last year, no idea when we'll start again just yet. having said that, we used it mainly for collecting leaves from mid november, beats raking or getting the blower out.

Coming up to the end of the season lads - surely time to get the "last cut of six" in still though...

Gandi699 27th August 2014 16:25

Sam 27th August 2014 17:44

Mines due a cut but its been a bit damp the last few days I've been at home, hopefully I get it done before I go back to work.

Ross 27th August 2014 18:25

It's all about getting the 6 cuts in. No more remember.

Probably did more than 6 cuts in one month during that very warm weather we where having.

Ross 27th August 2014 19:25
