You've lost me!

A rake or use the bag on the mower.

Didn't happen for me yesterday or today, too wet. Maybe tomorrow.

Anatom · 13-11-2017 12:17pm

Did mine yesterday. Probably the last one now, given the frost this morning. Still, you never know...

Curly head · 19-11-2017 3:47am

Hopefully last cut was done today

Oldtree · 19-11-2017 7:51pm

Still got leaves to come down, so last cut not done yet. Temps hitting over 10 degrees here so grass still growing.

We cut ours today so expecting it to be last cut as ground gets quite soggy in winter. Grass usually doesn't grow much more however I think it was last year that was unreal mild + We had to keep cutting it in Dec. Even the roses were still coming out to bloom.

Just wondering, guy next door going around now a few days on mower. I havent cut my grass in weeks and it hasn't grown....

He does get paid each year to cut the grass around the estate, is he just trying to show he is working still or why would he do it?

I do notice the whole green area is just moss and f**k all grass, would this be the cause of it?

I topped my lawn this evening, not a whole lot of growth left I'd think. It took up a few of the recently fallen leaves too.

He may be paid for X number of cuts a year so if he doesn't cut he doesn't get paid. I've been out after dark with a torch in October cutting grass working for a contractor just because they were contracted for X number of cuts a year.

I dont remember but Misses was saying he was looking for extra earlier on in year as he cuts late into the year.....expect to see him trying to up costs next year for the December cutting :P:P:P:P:P

I cut my back lawn this evening, expecting that to be the last of the year now.

First cut of the season! last cut was November so five months and probably because of the extended cold temps it was still very manageable. Feels good to have got one done - must mean spring is finally here!

Samuel T. Cogley · 14-04-2018 1:06pm

First one today to. Felt good giving the dandylions a haircut.

happywithlife · 14-04-2018 4:05pm

We did ours yesterday evening ! Great to get out again and it wasn't a complete meadow unlike previous years &#55357;&#56883;

My first was a couple of weeks ago, just very high to take top off.

Then a week later put on some 3-in-1 feed, as it was very pale looking (admittedly all the gardens I have seen locally look terrible).

Mine has greened up a good bit already, can see scope for another trim this coming week.

NIMAN · 10-10-2018 7:32pm

So just spent a few hours in and around the gardens.

Lot of leaves had to be cleared as it's been pretty windy up here in Donegal the last few days. Although I probably wasted my time once this next storm comes on Friday I'll have to do it all again.

Also got a cut done. It was the first in a few weeks due to the wet weather, but it was a gorgeous day up here today, so got a rattle at ir. Can't see it being the last of the season, as it's exceptionally mild.

Heh, could I have forseen how few cuts I would make this year. Did it today after several dry days.

Lawns cut this afternoon, mild weather drawing out the growth another few weeks.

beertons · 10-10-2018 7:52pm

How long does it take to cut that? Have you the same out the front?

Assume that's a question to me?

It takes about 45mins, it used to be less but I traded in the ride-on for a push mower recently. So there's more emptying to do.

The front is thankfully a fair bit smaller!

What are you using for clearing the leaves?

11-10-2018 1:38pm

Lawn mower is pretty good at gathering leaves. I have a Honda with a double blade so it cuts them up fine but the bag fills really quickly.

Hoof Hearted2 · 11-10-2018 3:34pm

Last cut of the year!?, OMG I CANT WAIT, this is going to be awesome, can someone please let nature know!

Yeah mostly lawnmower for me too.

Although I sometimes blow them roughly to an area, rake them up and dump them in a ditch. Then mow over what remains.

I expect the gardens to be full of leaves again tomorrow after Callum, the git.

ShiverinEskimo · 11-10-2018 9:20pm

Leaves and coffee grinds lads. Best compost there is. Make coffee, mow leaves so they get cut up and put them in a composting bin, drink some more coffee, drink even more coffee, top up the bin with the spent coffee grinds and then drink more coffee. Come next year you'll have yourself some nitrogen rich brown gold for the garden.

Curly head · 26-10-2018 6:24am

Cut mine yesterday. Frost promised so it may be thel last one

staples7 · 26-10-2018 7:41am

Cut late yesterday evening, first time since the dry spell I've noticed a significant slow down. Selling the ride on this weekend and taking a punt on a robot for the new season

May need a few manual cuts in-between but its exercise!

fryup · 26-10-2018 11:07am

cut yesterday as well, cleaned mower deck put away for winter storage hopefully thats it till...valentines day

thekooman · 26-10-2018 12:18pm

hope to cut ours this weekend... but last year the last cut was the first week of December so it will be cut twice in November more than likely.
