Whatever size your meadow or garden is, No Mow May is a worthwhile project to try and see what plants grow. Obviously, the timing will depend on where you are in the world and the species you already have but the basic principle of letting the vegetation grow for a month can bring delightful results. An increase in species and flowers attract pollinators and other insects which then can bring birds to your site.
Of course, once you have a meadow, you’ll need more than a lawnmower. A scythe is the perfect tool for cutting the long wildflowers and grasses when it’s time. Lightweight, quiet and efficient, scything is an easy method to mow a meadow. My Learn to Scythe courses run throughout the summer and will teach you everything you need to use and maintain an Austrian scythe.
