Beautiful lawn is a natural decoration of every rest garden, so we also need to know how to take care of it. The basic rule is: never cut grass when it is wet. But what about the rain? And how to do in the summer, what are we right now?
Let’s go through all the important knowledge of why mowing grass only (but not too large), whether it is possible to expose it to the coming rain immediately after a “cut”, and whether chopping wet grass is such a crime as it is said.

It is not enough to cut – but cut correctly!
First, let us return to the mentioned mowing of wet grass. For those of us who cannot quite choose when they will have time to care for the lawn and try to use every possible free time – even after the rain, there is bad news – yes, mowing wet grass should be forbidden by law (of course with exaggeration). Why? The point is not to destroy the lawn by cutting off the leaves if we can handle it gently and sharply on wet grass. This is the basis for the future prosperity of the stand. Every cut must be as sharpest and clearly as possible. Therefore, it is also so important to care for mower and especially their blade.

Wet the wet lawn really do not cut
But what happens if we decide to shorten the wet lawn? Nothing but to stick wet leaves that cause uneven mowing, and other clumps of grass will be torn off rather than sharply cut off. Such damaged grass will then be much more susceptible to various diseases. In addition, wet grass remnants can even damage even because they form large lumps that can clog it. If they get back to the lawn and let them lie there, we can rely on the fact that we will soon find not only damaged vegetation, but also molds and fungal diseases. So the conclusion is clear: do not really cut wet grass!
Before the rain? How to …
Okay, we already know this – but what about mowing before rain? There are a period when the time after the rain is continuously connected to the time before the rain to replace it with rain. The carousel can continue for many weeks. In short, experts agree that we should mow the grass when it is dry. The fact that there will be a weaker rain, which in this case will be a certain advantage. The cut grass gets a natural watering as a boost for its recovery. But always be careful not to cut more than one third of the height of the stand.
Reasonable rain will help, strong harm
While the forecast of short or weak rain can be advantageously used, on the contrary, it is better to avoid mowing before the announced long and abundant influx of water. A large fast supply of water and (whether we try as much as possible) damaged grass leaves – this could mean big problems, even molds and due to possible extensive damage to the lawn. So if meteorologists warn against a similar situation, move mowing for a few days, more precisely for the time when the grass is dry again. Meanwhile, the water will soak and we will not have to wait for anything wrong.
I mow even in the right time in the right time
Although the weather seems ideal, there is another condition of successful procedure. Choose a moment to cut the grass when its leaves are as strong as possible. It is definitely not in the midday and afternoon hours of hot day. On the other hand, the early morning hours, as soon as the dew dries, is literally ideal for such work. Feel free to get and look at the perfect green around the house for it.
