Too cold to mow?
« on: November 15, 2007, 13:03:55 »
Last night it was -0.4c and today I've had the leaf blower out and noticed my grass is getting long. Is it too late or maybe too cold to mow?

My idea was to build Liverpool into a bastion of invincibility. Napoleon had that idea. He wanted to conquer the bloody world. I wanted Liverpool to be untouchable. My idea was to build Liverpool up and up until eventually everyone would have to submit and give in. Bill Shankly.

I was wondering this too... The wet weather stopped me getting a final mow in when I wanted so I was just going to leave it.. But if its worth a go now then I'd like to give it one last going over...

During mild spells in winter, an occasional cut at a high setting can be carried out.

((Quote))..Mowing In Winter.
"Mowing is carried out mainly between March and October. During mild spells in winter, an occasional cut at a high setting can be carried out. Do not attempt to do this if ground conditions are very soft or frozen, or during spells of cold drying winds".
