Genuine question: how does not mowing your lawn helps bees / insects?
I'm guessing that the lawn itself is incidental, and by not mowing you're letting flowers (including dandelions and clover?) grow?
Also, I'm gonna be up front about my ulterior motive: I hardly mow my lawn anyways and would love to have another reason to justify / rationalize what I'm already doing :)
But still - genuine question.
- angry_moose 2y agoMany insects lay their eggs in the grass which hatch in early spring. By mowing early you may be destroying all of these eggs before they hatch. There's debate about how effective it is, but that's the theory at least.
