Only mow the lawn if it’s dry

This has been an exceptionally mild winter so far, and in many gardens the grass is still growing. But because the weather has also been very wet, mowing has been a juggling act between keeping the lawn in check, without turning it into a muddy mess! Only mow the grass if the soil has dried out – you’ll simply rip out the roots and scar the lawn if you mow on waterlogged soil.
