Don't let the grass grow under your feet

It's well into November now, and some people are saying lets put the lawn mower away for the year. Well, here at least, the grass is still growing. Albeit not as fast as in May or June, but its sneakily catching you unawares. A cut every three or four weeks just to keep it in trim, is a good idea - and generally we keep on cutting through the winter at least once a month, unless we get a prolonged cold snap.
The other thing that comes to mind is the number of customers we have who only have their hedges cut once a year ( and sometimes less!) - most of the common hedges do well on at least a cut twice a year - this stops them getting too leggy, and then looking like c..p when they're cut. Some thrive on even more regular cutting, but at least twice a year will give a much thicker, healthier looking hedge.
Happy Gardening!
