This is an interesting one....
I am fanatical about my grass length and have been known to cut it three times in one week! I hate seeing balls of dried grass as they love to jump up inside spats etc and generally make the strip look less tidy.
Put it this way, if the grass touches my ankle when I walk on it everything is dropped to get it cut!! I aim for one inch and then allow it to get to three inches before the next shave.
Early morning mowings are not good as the dew makes the cutter work less efficiently.
A good hot day is good as the grass is lacking in moisture and doesn't "ball up" when it goes through the cutting deck.
But the best..........is at 9 pm!! There are less flies to fly in your mouth and down your shirt. The phone doesn't ring causing the mower to have to be shut down, the wind is normally non-existent, the grass is still lovely and dry and the four pack of lager stays cool on the floor under the seat!!
God I'm a sad b*****d
No doubt the chap I share the hangar with will make a suitably sarcastic post about how I spend as much time flying the tractor mower as I do flying my plane!!!
