A gardening expert has shared his "best way" of dealing with thick, wet, long grass using a lawnmower.

The wet and warm weather is here and that tips off gardening fans about one thing - it's time to trim the grass. Taking the long, wet grass off means you will be able to enjoy the sunshine and invite guests to your garden for a barbecue.

Now a gardening guru who runs the TikTok account "Just Gardens" said there is an easy way to cut the grass without spending hours. He said: "In my opinion, this is the best way of dealing with thick, wet, long grass. Give it a try.

"Crosscut your lawn! Go horizontally and back on the same line, then repeat the process vertically. Start off on a high cut setting then lower it slightly for a second cut."

He added: "Give it a go if you have this problem with the first cuts of the year." While he didn't specify which lawnmower he used, we have a few good options that are worth checking out.

The Bosch AdvancedRotak 650 Electric Rotary Lawnmower, £253.97, is enhanced with Bosch’s ProSilence technology, this lawnmower can run super quietly meaning you can mow the lawns at whatever time you fancy without annoying your neighbours.

If mowing the lawn usually leaves you with a bad back, the Bosch Ergoslide system that comes with this mower allows you to manoeuvre it without putting stress on your lower back.

Some viewers were concerned if it would be helpful for a big garden as one voiced: "That's alright if you have a small garden." While another said: "Just buy a professional mower, that would take five minutes."

But others were impressed and happy to give it a try. A viewer compared the result to professional-grade football pitch, saying: "Looks like Wembley pitch."

"Oh finally found a grass TikTok, I love it," a second added while a third challenged: "But I like stripes."
