I’m very pleased to see that the No Mow May campaign is being repeated by Plantlife this year after the success of 2021. Allowing the grass and other plants to grow during the early part of the season provides early nectar sources for pollinators which are so vital for a healthy environment. After May, the guidance across the year is to have a areas of shorter grass complemented by patches of longer grass.
This kind of management is perfect for a scythe which is as happy to cut long wildflowers meadow grass as it is mowing a lawn, all without any noise or fossil fuels. Visit my Learn to Scythe page for details of courses.
