The First Cut is the Deepest.

[User482]

As any gardener knows, the first cut is the shallowest. Anyway, did mine at the weekend, with a cylinder mower of course, and used a slow-release organic feed.

I thought yours was a dustbowl-like chicken run User482?

I fenced off one end of the garden and let them do their worst!

Respect for the cylinder mower, though...

It's got a V6 petrol engine on it though, Mort.

It's still pretty lame even as a reggae song - the Junior Boss record cover is nice though!

Did the first cut of the season a couple of weeks ago.

The grass in our back garden is some sort of heavy duty meadow grass variety which grows really fast and thick so it was in urgent need of a cut.

The front lawn is a finer bladed grass (although ours is mostly weeds and clover) and I did go over that with the mower blade set high just to tidy it up a bit. Is there anything that I can treat the front lawn with to replace the weeds, moss and clover and actually get grass back? Or should I dig the whole lot up and start again? Bear in mind that I have no gardening abilities whatsoever.....

Job to be done, for the second time this year, tomorrow along with removing a load of bluebells which are starting to clog up the bed beside the path. Anybody want some bluebells?

Not Yet the rabbits are still keeping it down at present, once it starts growing too fast from them I'll have to get the mower out.

I've got a Snapper lawnmower. With a free mulching kit.

Get you..... they look posh!

I have lived in my place for 25 years, and I still can't get rid of them.
