Alan Titchmarsh is a famous gardening expert. He has a YouTube channel where he shares gardening tips. He helps people with common gardening tasks.

Alan is making a new garden and sharing his ideas. He recently talked about how to have a perfect lawn.

Lawns are a key part of most gardens and look best when they are green and well-cut.

After cold and wet weather, lawns can look neglected and have bare spots and moss.

Alan showed how to mow, scarify, and set mower height. He also gave tips for a greener lawn.

Alan says to mow your lawn at least every two weeks.

Alan advises not to mow too short. He says to set the mower to one inch in summer and more in hot weather.

Alan said, 'Longer grass blades mean a greener lawn. Don't water your lawn, it will recover after rain.'

Alan says to mow every two weeks, but for a thick lawn, do it weekly.

Mow weekly in mild weather, but less often when it's hot and dry.

Some gardeners don't mow in May to help pollinators. Alan suggests leaving some areas unmown for a couple of months.

Alan recommends mowing regularly, but leaving some areas longer. Leave them unmown for two months before cutting.

Not mowing in May might not be practical, especially for birds that need to feed their young.

A mowed lawn can still be friendly to wildlife if you use organic fertilizers and no weed killers.
