[Misc] No mow May

[Brovion]

Yes, I'm in. And I'm not going to mow in June either. (The fact I don't have any grass only a paved yard may undermine my contribution a bit).

 

[Justice]

People actually mow their own lawns? Our Gardner is perfectly happy doing ours.

I have a front verge, part of which I won't mow. The neighbours will probably tut though.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Nope …but if my customers want to pay for a non cut and that the lawns going to in some cases look crap when you do the first cut then I’m in

Ps..I’ve got a few where we just leave a small area ..started that in March

If we could have a bit of warmth to germinate the grass seed I've put down, it will at least give me a decision to make.

Apart from the lovely warmth we've had the last 3 days and continuing? Surely perfect growing weather now: lots of warmth with showers

No Maupay?

Don't tell me he's now injured as well?

I'm near Coventry. It's still big coat weather. I might eBay me shorts at this rate.

For years we used to a lawn feed, weed and moss killer. But no more.

Its ain't Augusta, prefer to have a natural lawn. That's when No Mow May really comes into its own

Like the home office!!

Defo in, been going it on the roadside verge for a couple of years and doing the whole garden this year. Its amazing what comes through that you didnt even know was there.

 

[Curious Orange]

I've only mown the lawn once this year - Junior Orange kicking his football about stops it from growing much.

 

[medwayseagull reborn]

I'm in - provided you come round and do it instead.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Don't mow your lawn for the whole of May.

Provides a feast for pollinators, tackles pollution, reduce urban heat extremes, and lock away atmospheric carbon below ground.

Anyone else in?

I was doing "No mow May" but only because I'm lazy.

 

[Sorrel]

We are doing it. Our neighbours edge the council-owned kerb grass and I wouldn’t be surprised if they try and mount an intervention on our lawn - but we will stop them.

 

[Fungus]

Already had it marked in my calendar, but in any case the lawn is currently covered in builders’ crap while they rebuild some patios. It’ll need a peaceful month to recover.

Actually, we have four separate lawns, but one will be given over to a permanent wildflower meadow after this.

 

[Jack Straw]

I though that June was the best month to not mow. calling @Jack Straw

One method of meadow management is to mow regularly through early summer and stop on 20th June. It's amazing what comes up after that, and the grass has lost its vigour, so you can see any wild flowers.
There's lots of different meadow management mowing regimes, but as you mentioned June...

 

[Blue3]

We have plastic grass but in support of your worthy cause I will not vacuum the lawn until June

 

[Albion my Albion]

Yes, I'm in. And I'm not going to mow in June either. (The fact I don't have any grass only a paved yard may undermine my contribution a bit).

I know a guy who would have paid you to grow some "grass" in your kitchen or sun room but now since 30 or more US states have changed their law he doesn't need to pay anymore.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

A no from me.
