Gardener explains when to cut your grass and how often for a thicker lawn
A gardening expert has shared his top four tips for a perfect lawn, including how often to mow and the direction you should cut the grass each time
Gardening whizz Bo Petterson has shared four key tips to make your grass look its best on TikTok, highlighting common errors that could be sabotaging your efforts.
Bo shared: "In the spring, you need to mow a couple of times a week and you need to cut it short. This teaches your grass to grow outwards instead of upwards, making your lawn thicker."
Adding on he said: "In the summer, you don't have to mow as often, but you should leave the grass longer. This shades the roots from the hot sun."
He also suggests altering the direction you mow each time to avoid the grass growing sideways like a combover. He clarified: "This can include vertical, horizontal, cross pattern, wavy, it doesn't matter. If you don't do this, your lawn will learn to grow sideways like a combover."
