Typically 3” to 3.5” is used on my four acres.
10-4 …I cut my centipede grass higher than recommended - like a 4 of 6 on my mower. But if it starts getting weeds in it I drop it down to 2 on that part of the lawn. The weeds get burnt out but the centipede survives.
In different regions or climates, this is very normal or common. If I go to the store and buy seed from Pennington or Scott's or from a local turf/sod place, their standard mix will include Ky Bluegrass, ryegrass, fescue, and even sometimes some Bermuda (for full sun areas).I probably have at least 8 different grass types in my 'lawn'.
I'm curious why this is?On the last mowing before winter. You don't want long grass in snow country.
I know leaves will collect in the low spots and shade it out.I'm curious why this is?
