Mowing became fashionable during the Industrial Revolution when it was how the wealthy showed off they didn't need to grow their own food.

250 years on and manicured lawns are so embedded in our culture that despite the adverse impacts many can't envision any alternatives.

@OrsiNyarai Lucky that i am a lazy person. I let it grow most of the time, and enjoy flowers coming up. We mow, but not often, only to keep it in a way, that we can walk on it and play with the dogs. But we have parts that i rarely mow and just let them grow.
The key is: Be lazy 😉
@v_d_richards You are doing the right thing. Keep on being lazy...nature appreciates it. 😉
