I had a No Mow Spring in my backyard. The yard was cut down less than a week ago because I could not go out there for 10 minutes without my eyes starting to hurt. It was worse if I tried to kill the invasives. My area has had a terrible allergy season.
It is mostly non-native grass mixed in with invasives. There is ONE native plant I put in. Baby steps. I will add a few more natives during planting season.
Is No Mow May actually a thing in the US?
Yes, it’s been slowly taking off, but it’s still very niche. People who participate seem to mostly be home gardeners.
Followed shorty by “angry letter from the health department June”
