Hi everyone,
Bought my first house last year and the garden was a tip. I love a nice garden so I spent a good week deforesting removing gravel and eventually topsoil and some grass!
The garden is pretty much a postage stamp, at about 3m wide by about 8 meters long. And a third of that is a chicken pen!
This spring the grass came through lovely… Due to my job I really struggle to keep on top of the mowing. It sometimes gets a good 6 inches long.
The last few times I had to strim to sensible length before even attempting to mow it.
The problem iv got is its soooooo thick! My mower is a rubbishy flymo (due to the size of the garden). I borrowed my dad’s new honda mower and even that struggled on the highest setting!!!
Any ideas on how to cope? Is there way of thinning?
I’m guessing the answer is keep it short and cut and cut and it will eventually
Sort itself out?
As I said, it’s a tiny garden so getting it professionally done or dethatching or anything like that would be silly.
It’s so much effort to cut such a small area and even then it looks rubbish like I’ve butchered it!!! And it takes a lot of the little free time I have off!!!
Sorry to moan about such healthy grass!
Any advice welcome
