when can you cut new turf

we put new turf down two and half weeks ago, anyone know how long it has to be left before it can be cut - bearing in mind we've had monsoons ever since and it is now 3 feet high. In fact I'm sure we saw a tiger lurking in there the other day.

oh ok .. I was told 6 weeks by the guys who laid our lawn .... so thought that was right .. probably not though

nooo don't back away any advice welcome. MMM if you were told 6 weeks then maybe thats right. How is your lawn looking then?

my lawn looks lovely but it was done 3 years ago

the bloke 'seemed' to know what he was doing / saying

but that doesn't mean he did for I am extremely gullible

you have to leave it for about 6 weeks my neighbour got some laid a while back and waited about 2 months. it's worth it!

right will have to leave it then but my guess it it will be pretty long by then
