I figured it out

I've seen it said, a couple places on the internet1, that when you mow the lawn you should cut off no more than one-third the length of the grass. So for example, if you mow when the grass is 3 inches tall and you cut it down to two inches, you cut off one-third of the original length.

Yeah. But a lot of my lawn is in a low, wet area, and it grows as much as an inch a day. So I cut my lawn to two inches tall, and the next day it's three inches tall and ready to be cut again.

To follow that "cut off no more than one-third" rule, I'd have to mow my lawn every day!


Note:
1 -- It might have been one place on the internet, which I found more than once. Can't rightly say.
