It can leave gardens looking a bit worse for wear
With more scorching hot days ahead of us this summer season, many gardeners will no doubt be itching to get out and about in the garden, where they will take great pleasure in keeping on top of their flourishing flowerbeds and blooming bushes. When it comes to caring for your lawn, however, there are some hints and tips you'll need to bear in mind to keep your grass looking gloriously green and luscious all summer long.
Jonathan told the Mirror: "When temperatures in the UK rise, mowing can actually cause stress to a lawn so it's often best to leave your grass to grow a little longer in these conditions. The shorter the grass, the less shade there is to protect the roots and therefore the amount of moisture held by them is reduced - grass that is too short will dry out."According to Jonathan, growth slows down during the warmer months, so you won't need to mow your grass as much.
