Joel Ashton ππ³π I have turned #nomowmay into #nomowsummer for the past 5 years. The result last year was having 3 of these beauties (sorry for the poor photo
Joel Ashton ππ³π I started #nomowmay last summer which turned into #nomowsummer and a year later my garden looks more lush with wildlife by day π
Thereβs something that needs addressing. I felt compelled to make this video to explain why a #NoMowMay , if undertaken on its own, is a PROBLEM for #wildlife . This video will no doubt ruffle feathers, but people need the right informationπ #NoMowSummer

Putting the ride-on mower into storage for #NoMowMay ? Think about extending this to a #NoMowSummer
Tips from Joel Ashton ππ³π here!
If you're going to let your lawn grow (or parts of it) make it a #NoMowSummer and refrain from mowing until mid September. Lawns across the UK could look so interesting, diverse, pretty. If only I had a lawn!!
#NoMowMay - Is It REALLY Worth It?
All sorts of reasons why it could actually be detrimental to wildlife & how adopting a #NoMowSummer is much better at habitat creation & for wildlife in general.

Im not a fan of no mow may. This was #nomowsummer June 2023. Nothing was cut back until late autumn and winter to give plants and insects time to complete their life cycles. No lawnmower, no strimmer, just careful cutting with shears. I'm excited to see what I'll get this year.
#NoMowSummer If youβve got grassy patches you can leave for #bees #Butterflies and other useful #insects and #Wildlife donβt mow until mid-late September. #VIDEO via Joel Ashton ππ³π
100% agree with Jo Linehan in The Sunday Times Ireland today. Leave the #dandelions alone. #NoMowSummer Our #pollinator friends are vital #EarthDay2024 #biodiversity #ClimateCrisis
Joel Ashton ππ³π weβre having a debate around went to cut after a #nomowsummer β¦ you say early Autumn & clear, others say leave until March, so creatures can over-Winter in the long growth. Thoughts?
