OK i am not a green finger person at all, so this question may sound a silly one to you pro's out there, but we have a very large long back garden has we don't have house behind us so our back garden runs all down the side of the house to the front. Now i was wondering if any product out there that you can use on grass to stop it growing to fast. Has with it been this time of year and the summer that is all we seem to do is cutting it and it really drives me mental. So apart from a flame and petrol to stop it growing, is there anything els i could buy just to stop it growing so fast.

I have often wondered the same thing! I see my neighbours casually trimming their lawns about once a fortnight during summer. But i have to cut mine about twice a week. One year i can remember getting the lawnmower out 3 times in one week, it's ridiculous.
I swear the neighbours are secretly feeding my grass steroids in the middle of the night:hihi::suspect:

Ours is the same twice a week, cut it on sunday and now it is ready to be cut again, looks very long has my neighbour cut her's on tuesday and her look so much neater, but she like to know also has we have the same size garden with also been a corner house. Yet our other neighbour at the other side of me don't have to cut hers has much, maybe because we have more light to her not been on the corner i don't know. But the steroid question is also a good one, wonder if our neighbour is also feeding ours at night just to watch us suffer wile she sun herself relaxing in her garden :suspect:.

I think it will be due to the type of grass, our front garden is fine grass which grows a lot slower than the tougher more hardwearing grass on the back garden, I don’t think there is a simple answer other than digging it all up and starting again.
