Cutting grass

[Smithy]

How often do you cut your grass in yard/garden?

I cut my grass every 2 weeks from Spring to Summer and let it grow from Autumn to Winter and cut again in the spring.

Cutting the lawn is generally my wife's job, as she enjoys it and is better at it than I am. We are on a lager scale than you though, as we have a couple acres to mow.

In the spring, I mow about every five minutes. It is a wet season till mid June usually. so at least once a week. By August, it can be once a month.
Hardly ever in January. We have about 4 acres of lawn.

It varies year to year. In general, just whenever it gets high. For the first half of this summer, I mowed the lawn whenever it stopped raining. There was so much rain I had to set the mower up to a 6" cut to keep it from shutting down. At the end of summer, it stopped raining altogether and I didn't have to mow for a month. The southern grasses here go dormant in the winter.

How come the excessive rain rotted my garden but not my lawn, even the parts that were under water?

Maybe you should have let the weeds grow in your garden. They would have taken up the extra moisture? (How's that for an excuse not to pull weeds?)

Trust me the weeds grew great, except for the ones that we like.
