    Are you supposed to do it more? When I lived with my parents and had access to a yard that’s about how much we did it (cause it was annoying to do it more)

      I usually have to mow once a week when we’re not in drought, otherwise the lawn gets too high, but during the heat of summer I don’t have to mow at all because the grass goes dormant.

          Too high for me is when even at the tallest setting my lawn mower struggles to cut which is probably like 6+ inches as a guess. Usually the first mow in the spring is difficult if I attempt “no mow may”.

          I don’t understand how you’d ever be ‘tilling the soil’ unless you don’t know how to adjust your mower height, maybe you could elaborate?
