How often should you mow the lawn?
Fortnightly. It goes on the list when you tell it there is a garden.
What it actually is, and what shifts it
Taking off more than about a third of the blade in one cut is what turns grass yellow. Cut more often and take less off, and the clippings can stay where they fall.
Put it on a list that reminds you
“Mow the lawn”, fortnightly. Tick it when it is done and the next date is counted from that day, not from when it was due.
