Gardening expert warns of common mowing mistake that leaves lawns 'open to disease'

An expert is warning gardeners over one common mistake that nearly half of Brits are making.

The sunny weather means more time outside, but a new survey shows that 82 per cent of people claim to "wing it" when completing garden jobs. According to the gardening specialists at Black & Decker, one mistake that gets made all to often happens while mowing the lawn.

According to Black & Decker marketing manager Joe Handley, 44 per cent of Brits are cutting the grass too short. While this can save gardening time, he warned that your lawn will pay a heavy price in the long run as it starves it of important nutrients.
