    Do you need to cut it? I'd leave it for a good while yet it'll get mild at some point. Unless you are in some strange "mild spot" it won't have grown much over the winter (mines hardly two inches high).

    Yeah guess you're right. Just looking to do something in garden I guess.

    Cheers for reply.

    We cut the grass the other week and switched blades after the first cut to snap up the moss. Not very green but looks better then what it was anyway!

    What kind of blade can you get to "snap up the moss"?

    It is a good idea to cut it now - just keep the blade high.

    yeah it evens it out; some patches always seem to grow, even in winter.
