A good mowing routine is essential to keeping your lawn healthy.
Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a beginner, understanding the basics can help you transform your lawn into a lush, green paradise. It may seem like an easy task, but many people get it wrong.
A gardening guru who posts online under the name “Black Lotus Gardening” is going viral on social media after making people aware of the mistake in a video that has been viewed more than 35,000 times. The TikTok video shows a Melbourne man struggling to mow his overgrown lawn.
But he told fans there was a “simple way to change your life.” He wrote: “I used to just run my lawnmower through some tall grass and pray to the lawn gods.”

“Then, after gaining enough experience, we decided it was quicker to mow the lawn twice.”
He was seen walking across the grass after using a switch on the side of the lawnmower to raise it.
I then gave the grass a quick mow to reduce the length a little, then used the switch on the side of the mower to bring it back to the desired length.
He adds: “Once on a strong setting, then again on your desired setting. It's handy to trim the edges with a line in between so you can see it better and catch it the second time you do it.”
TikTok users were stunned by the video, as many had no idea that you could adjust the trim on a lawnmower, with one user commenting, “Wow you're a genius. I would never have thought of that.”
Another added: “No you just lift the front of the mower right before it stops,” while a third commented: “Wait… you can adjust lawnmowers?”
