Winter is garden planning time. Choose native plants!
Mow when the lawn is dry.
If the lawn is wet, the mower blades can’t cut the grass cleanly and you’ll create an opportunity for disease to spread. Mowing a wet lawn also causes grass clippings to clump and decompose slower. It can also compact the soil and create ruts.
