Tips on lawn care
Mowing
Lawns consist of various grass
types. Frequent mowing promotes
the growth of grass, resulting in
strong roots and a firm sward. If
you seldom cut the grass, you will
enhance the development of high-
growing types of grass and other
weeds, such as clover, daisies).
The normal height of a lawn
is
approx.
4–5 cm. Only
1
/
3
of the total
height should be mown; therefore
cut 7–8 cm long grass to normal
height. Try not to cut the grass
shorter than 4 cm, otherwise the
lawn will suffer during dry periods.
If the grass has grown particularly
hi
gh (for example, during a holiday
period), cut it back to its normal
height in several stages.
When mowing, always overlap the
mown
swa
ths slightly.
Mulching (using the
accessories)
The grass is cut into small pieces
(approx. 1 cm) and left to lie on the
lawn. The lawn therefore retains a
lot of nutrients. For an optimum
result always keep the lawn short,
see also the section entitled
“Mowing”.
Observe the following when
mulching:
Do not mow wet grass.
Never mow more than 2 cm.
Mow slowly.
Clean the cutters regularly.
