Your lawn mowing routine is crucial for maintaining a thriving grass. Whether you're an experienced gardener or a beginner, understanding the basics can turn your lawn into a lush, green sanctuary. It might seem like a straightforward task, but many people have been doing it wrong.

A gardening expert, who posts online under the name Black Lotus Gardening, has gone viral after making people aware of their mistakes with a popular video on social media. In the TikTok clip, which amassed over 35,000 views, the bloke from Melbourne was seen struggling to trim the overgrown grass.

However, he assured fans that there was a simple "method will change your life." He wrote: "I used to just smash the lawn mower into the tall grass and pray to the lawn gods.", reports the Mirror.

"Then after gaining enough exp, I decided that it worked out to be faster mowing the lawn twice."

He was seen going over the grass after using a switch on the side of the mower to raise it.

Then he quickly went over the grass to reduce some of the length, before using a switch on the side of the mower to lower it back down to the desired trim.

He added: "Once on a high setting and then again on the desired setting. It's a bonus if you line trim the edges in between since it is easier to see and you can catch it on the second run-through."

TikTok users were left amazed by the clip as many people didn't realise they could adjust the trim on their lawnmowers. One user said: "Oh, you're a genius I would have never figured that out."

Another person chimed in: "Nah, just lift the front of the mower when it's about to shut off," while a third remarked: "Wait..... mowers can be adjusted? ".
