You’ve been mowing the wrong lawn – expert shares ‘life-changing’ method for grass

Did you know that your mowing routine is crucial to maintaining a thriving garden?

Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a beginner, understanding the basics can turn your garden into an Eden. It may sound easy, but many people have got it wrong.

A gardening expert who posts online as Black Lotus Gardening on TikTok has won the internet with his viral video. In the clip, which has racked up more than 35,000 views, the Melbourne man was seen struggling to mow the overwhelmed grass.

But he informed fans that there is a simple “method that will change your life”. He wrote: “I used to smash the lawnmower into the tall grass and pray to the lawn gods.”

“Then, after I gained enough experience, I decided it mowed the lawn twice as fast.” He was seen running over the grass after using a switch on the side of the mower to raise it.

He then gave the grass a quick once over to remove some of the length, before using a switch on the side of the mower to set it back to the desired cut.

He added: “Once at a high setting and then again at the desired setting. It’s a bonus if you cut the edges in between because it’s easier to see and you can catch it on the second pass.”

TikTok users were stunned by the clip, as many people didn’t know they could adjust the cutting of their lawnmowers. One user said: “Oh you’re a genius, I never would have realized.”

Meanwhile, another individual commented: “No, it just raises the front of the mower when it’s about to stop,” with a third chime in: “Wait… can mowers be adjusted?”
