NP10, Caerphilly
Mowing
When you can next cut it, and the best slot this weekend.
Best weekend slot
Nothing doing
Verdict: Not worth it
Nothing to cut — the grass is barely growing (growth potential 0.10).
Today evening is your first decent window.
Next mow
Today 6pm–7pm
Verdict: Prime time
grass dry — 1 hour after the rain
- Warning: Frost about. Thursday 22 October has frosted hours. Stay off it until it lifts — walking on frosted grass bruises it, and mowing it ruptures the leaf. More
