Many people will be thinking of giving the grass its first cut of the year over the next few weeks
Spring has finally arrived and with that comes lighter evenings and hopefully an improvement in the weather. But for many of us, it also means the return of a job we probably haven't done for a fair few months.
For some, spending time in the garden is a luxury. Surrounded by nature while improving the appearance of our homes with some beautiful colours and flowers. For others, cutting the grass can be a real challenge that they are relieved of over the winter. The big question with spring arriving is when to give the lawn its first cut of the season.The experts at CountryLiving have issued a number of tips and things to consider before the first grass cut of the year. It says the average date of the first lawn cut in the UK will be Sunday, March 24 - a date known as First Cut Sunday - but that is dependent on the weather conditions.
But, as part of a series of tips including urging people not to mow all of their lawn on the first cut, the experts say when to cut your grass for the first time should actually be determined by its length rather than a specific date. They also encourage people to use the 'one-third rule', which is to never cut more than a third of a blade of grass off in one go.
In terms of the length of the grass, CountryLiving says: "It's best to wait until the grass has grown over three inches in length until mowing for the first time to allow it time to build up strength." Among the other tips and guidance, they also encourage people to check for nesting animals before giving the lawn its first cut.
