. No mow may never made sense to me. I’ve planted many native plants at edges of our yard and try hard to eradicate non natives such as buck thorn and honeysuckle in my woods. I’ve never seen so many birds, bees and butterflies in the 30 plus years I’ve been here and I’ve not mowed in may which accomplished nothing but saved gas. My new mower uses a lot of gas so I will be planting fine fescues. Slow mow all year at a higher height makes sense. Thankyou for putting this video out!
