A garden with grass is a real wonder, especially when you have children or want to be outdoors, sitting on it, or lying down looking at the starry sky … Until recently, it was believed that it took a lot of maintenance, so much so that if you lived in a climate where the precipitations are little, its sowing in the gardens was not recommended. But fortunately, this situation is being left behind, since every time we can have types of grass whose care is low.
Whichever type you choose though, they will all need to be cut from time to time. If you do not have the best lawnmower or you can’t afford one, don’t worry. I’m going to explain to you how to mow without a machine.
Depending on the surface that the lawn occupies, it will be more advisable to use some tools or others. For example, if the area that covers it is rather small, you can use small pruning shears. But if it is rather large and / or tall it is better to use scissors that are normally used to cut hedges, or a sickle. It may take time, however the result will be worth it.
It is important to always cut more or less at the same height. To do this, I advise you that when you have already cut a corner, you move a few meters away to check that it is well mowed and that they do not look like “mountains”.
Before using any tool, it is convenient to disinfect it with a few drops of alcohol from the pharmacy. This will prevent the lawn from being affected by fungi, which could seriously harm it. For the same reason, it is also important that, when you finish mowing the lawn, you run the rake to remove the cut pieces of grass. A) Yes, it will look much more spectacular.
Cutting the lawn without a machine can take time, but … you will enjoy it much more later!
