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 already do this but mostly I just hate the trim work. Give the bugs the borders and they seem to leave me alone.
