| 17th May 2018, First of the Circles |
Three weeks ago this year's early summer pattern on the quad lawn began to be cut into the grass, circles and straight lines. In previous years curves, straight lines, diagonal lines, wavy lines and circles have all been seen individualy but never a combination of two of them until now.
Since the first cut on the 17th May the pattern has become more defined as the lawn is cut two to three times a week. This pattern is created using two differant mowers, the circles are cut using the Allett Buffalo 24, the 24inch cylinder mower and the straight lines using the Honda HRX476, the 19inch rotary mower, the 24inch and 19inch are the width of cut. However, the circles are not just one width of the cylinder mower but four. To create them the mower is pushed round in the same direction four times and, at the end of each full circle, the mower is moved to the edge of the previous circle until the end of the fourth when the mower is turned around and pushed in the opposite direction. This pattern will remain on the lawn until the end of June when it will be changed to another pattern for the rest of the summer.
