LAWN MOWING
Bruce Agra Dehy Inc. is looking for good
quality 2nd and 3rd cutalfalfa. We will arrange
for the harvest and transport of the crop.
To sell your:2nd & 3rd cut alfalfa
The appearance and health of your lawn is maintained by mowing
your lawn at the proper height. A common, very serious error is to
mow lawns too short!,
A lawn should always be mowed at least 5 to 6•cm (2. to 21/2 inches)
above the ground. Mowing height shoui'd be, increased during the
heat of the summer. Grasses need greater length to survive the sum-
mer heat and drought.
The lawn should always be mowed frequently so tat a small slipping
is taken from the grass plant. Never remove more than i/of the total
grass blade when moWing..Remove too much o lthe blade length at
one time stresses the°grass and weakens your lawn.
Mower blades should be kept razor sharp. The Sharp cut will make a
clean wound that will heal quickly, look tidy and resist disease attack.
It may be necessary to have mower blades sharpened 3 times yearly.
