Want a perfect lawn?

Whether you are a reluctant mower or lawn 'fetishist', I don't think you can ever have your perfect lawn.

Maybe it's just me, or is is fair to say that (1) a lawn fetishist will only be perfectly happy if 100% of blades of grass are exactly the same colour and height, and (2) a reluctant mower will only be perfectly happy if the grass stopped growing but still looked okay!  Both of these scenarios are impossible.

In my opinion, a great looking lawn is largely a function of:

• The soil conditions, sun exposure and use
• The effort you put into mowing, watering, scarifying, aerating, weeding and feeding at the right times of the year
• The quality of your mower, especially the blade's sharpness and the way it is set
