I usually have to mow once a week when we’re not in drought, otherwise the lawn gets too high, but during the heat of summer I don’t have to mow at all because the grass goes dormant.
Too high for me is when even at the tallest setting my lawn mower struggles to cut which is probably like 6+ inches as a guess. Usually the first mow in the spring is difficult if I attempt “no mow may”.
I don’t understand how you’d ever be ‘tilling the soil’ unless you don’t know how to adjust your mower height, maybe you could elaborate?
5a. Grass grows like crazy from May into July. August it usually goes dormant because I don’t have irrigation and then I don’t have to mow until it cools down again.

what exactly is “too high”? because if you mowed once a week here you’d be tilling the fucking soil

What zone are you in?
My grass is ready to be cut by march and now mow may only results in not waist high grass IF I mow it April 30th
Your experience relative to my experience can show how the other persons experience can be so drastically different too

Probably why. Here in canada, same as this guy, literally have to mow it every week or it gets too long and the mower stops working well.
5 inches at a minimum, at least in most spots
