Mines too wet now but it’s ok because I managed to sneak a cut in just before the wet weather started x

Answer 70

No I wouldn’t yet

Answer 71

You can but only if the soil is pretty dry and then you should cut the grass on a high setting. If the soil is wet you will compact the roots and there is more chance of moss and weeds developing

Answer 72

Still a chance of frost if you cut too early the cut grass could die off

Answer 73

On a high cut only.
