Monty Don busts common gardening myth that catches everyone out in spring As the gardening season winds down, Monty Don has a crucial tip for anyone looking to keep their mower in top shape for next spring.
Rather than waiting until the first signs of spring to get it up and running, take a bit of time now to give your mower a proper once-over.
Over the course of the season, grass clippings and debris can build up, which can affect its performance next year if left untreated.
A loose screw can lead to unnecessary wear and tear, and the last thing you want is to discover a broken mower in the middle of the season.
Monty also recommends having the blades professionally sharpened, especially if your mower has been working hard all year.
