    Would that work for “trimming“ down a neckbeard? Yours sounds like it’s filling out a bit.

    You are cutting it too tight. That area should be done with the hand shears ! !;)

    What time is acceptable to cut the grass at weekends. ?

    Was going to cut it this evening but neighbours out having drinks, so will leave it till tomorrow.

    Would it annoy you if neighbours cut grass at say 10am?

    As a hay fever sufferer, I would say December

    Are you doing anything the weekend? Like if you are not doing anything specific and you are like not cutting the grass?
    You could drop around to mine and the Missus. We just got a new dungeon and we are trying to work out the final kinks..... A third eye is always useful. What do you say ? BYOB

    I lived in Brussels for a year and cutting the grass wasn’t allowed on Sundays. Sunday is a quiet day, no loud gardening equipment allowed. Such a thing would never work in Ireland I don’t think.

    I used to cut grass for a living. In Ireland most days the grass is too wet before about 11 am to cut efficiently. You do get days when its dry from earlier on but they are the exception rather than the rule. To get a job done you sometimes have to start when the grass is still wet but you really notice how much easier the job becomes as the grass dries up.

    As someone who had the responsibility of cutting the grass of a large garden for 30 years I always waited til late in the afternoon but before dew started to settle, you want the grass to be as dry as possible. Trying to cut damp/wet grass only doubles your workload. I have a neighbour who insist on cutting his grass at 8.00 in the morning (or earlier) and the engine cuts out every few minutes, you'd think he'd learn.
    Rather than being annoyed at him cutting so early, I take great pleasure in hearing the engine cut out, the guy is such a crank.

    Flipping thing growing like mad at the moment!

    One of the pitfalls of having a terrace house as well is having to drag the grass through the house.

    I'd get the garden paved completely only for it would be difficult for access.

    Why weekends? I cut it whenever it's needed when there's sun out. Not all weekends are dry, ye know.

    Don't be too hard on the Belgian's, in Germany you can only cut grass from 9-5 Mon-Fri, and 9-1 on a Saturday.
    For me personally if I was outside having a few drink's it would depend on which neighbor was making the racket

    I was asking about weekends as I'm too busy to cut at weekends. If weekend is wet well, just have to wait for a dry one.

    Quite often the morning dew is still on the grass until about 11 am.

    Have you considered napalming it? Throw a few tyres on it? Maybe even put a stack of pallets on the lawn?
