Would it be mad to cut the grass today?

veetwin · 2016-02-10 15:30:31

Based on the East Coast where frost is rare. I have a heavy crop of good quality grass that has the sun shining on it all day so it's as dry as its going to get. Would I do any harm in cutting it with a raised blade?

A third cut just finished, as I won't get to it again now until next weekend, due to work.

Height well down and looking very neat. Surprisingly green in colour for so early in the year. Last year my grass got a very lush green colour, and loads of people commented on it. I did one feed around early April last year, but it definitely wasn't in as good a nick last year as it is now, so fingers crossed it'll come up well again this year after another feed.

Last year I did more small cuts often, rather than deep cuts every few weeks, not sure if this helped the health of the grass. I mulch my grass rather than collect it, so small amounts of cutting often rarely leaves cuttings on the lawn.
