No mor mowing a big lawn. These companies come in and plant the right plants, irrigate, the plants they plant don’t need to be watered. You have a path to walk through your beautiful yard but that’s only a couple rounds with the lawn mower. So use less water and gas. Come on guys admit it this is better than an acre of grass you have to water and cut all summer. Imagine the gas and water conservation. And you can diy

I suggested this last year in May. No Mow May. Bought got my head bit off by people who love their grass. They’ll love the savings rewilding brings.

A lot of people are already doing it. Shit, you could probably cut your path thru your beautiful yard with on of those old school lawn mowers.

Where we live in Wisconsin has a No Mow May program. If you register, they won't write you a ticket for not keeping your grass trimmed. They also let a lot of the city parks go all May. Unfortunately, so many have gone to great lengths to make certain there is nothing but the desired grass variety in their lawns that very little is produced that supports pollinators. There are some folks who have let their yards go 'wild' all year round and have planted lots of supportive varieties. Monarchs are a big deal up here - this is the northern node of their migration, so lots of folks up here grow milkweed.

No mowing in wildfire country? ... fire officials recommend a defensible zone around our homes of 100 feet ... no trees, no shrubs and mowed at least to four inches tall ... or government will come in and mow for you, adding the bill to your property taxes ... fire safety will always be more important than rewilding ...

What are we supposed to do about haying season? ... or do flatlanding cityslickers forget where food comes from? ...
