    I read a report that suggests longer grass encourages small mammals to set up breeding areas and that mow in June kills them. Animals like shrews, hedgehogs, harvest mice, they’re all being mowed up.

    By mowing normally and leaving the hedgerows intact we allow animals to choose safe nesting spots.

    Grass yards are so ugly i dont get how people like them (Yes i realize for high traffic areas its somewhat needed)

    My family’s yard has diffrent sections of field, and they get so pretty the longer you let them do their thing! Id rather have a feild of flowers then some ugly grass that never gets used.
