Ah, but the critical question here is: How many wives?

My lawn is fairly small, about 30 x 50.
I don't use any chemicals, never have.

My lawn is lush, full of earthworms which the Robin's love. No toxic runoff after rains.

I don't have a choice, I have to cut my grass.
How I choose to maintain my lawn is up to me.
You can have a environmentally lawn, you just need to do some research and maybe a little extra labor or not.  Wink Wink Grin

Just one Jimbo- but as you correctly surmise/imply; its a rearview mirror situation.

ST-

I respect and appreciate your ability to do right by your lawn and your planet. The main idea of no mow may is to allow the grasses and flowers to flower and provide food for pollinators. Of course the flowering and pollinating will lead to seed and more flowers (weeds...). I like the non-monoculture yard.

My back neighbors did the no mow May in thing in their back yard. They had used a lawn service for a few years so it was very well fertilized with few dandelions...

They ended up having to rent a walk behind weed whacker to tame it. She was out a few days raking. I don't know what they did with the all hay but yesterday I noticed it's finally looking like an actual lawn again.

He apologized a while back about all the unsightliness of it all. I told him it wasn't a problem for me at all and I was actually curious to see how it went. He's like well, (our other neighbor) had more dandelions then we did and it broke my mower so we're not doing it again next year.
