The best time to mow your lawn

To mow or not to mow?

That is the question all homeowners face…when’s the best time to do it?

If you mow too early in the day, the grass may still be wet from dew overnight and that can clog your mower.

Mowing in the middle of the day isn’t great either because the heat can be hard on the grass.

And mowing too late isn’t ideal…your lawn needs time to recover before the sun goes down because it’s more prone to fungus and various diseases at night.

Soooooo…when?

Garden Seeker says the lawn mowing “sweet spot” is between 8:00am and 10:00am.

Mowing then avoids all those problems.

If you’re not a morning person, late afternoon is fine, too, between 400pm and 6pm!

Now you know…now let’s go mow!
