Gardeners urged to cut uneven 'strips' in lawn this summer (www.express.co.uk)

Gardeners are being urged to mow ‘uneven’ strips into their lawns this summer for a stark reason.

No Mow May is long since finished and gardeners across the UK have been breaking out the lawnmowers through various times in June and July - at leat, when the torrid wet weather has allowed.

But the ‘catch all’ approach of just marching onto the lawn and mowing the whole thing to one length is soon to be a thing of the past.

I'm glad some municipalities in the Netherlands started doing this a few years ago. Near intersections they cut it short so people can see other cars and bicyclists approaching. But near the woods and not near intersections they let it grow for a while and don't cut it to the ground.
