When I first heard about No Mow May, I was keen to try out the rewilding technique for myself. But letting the lawn grow wild for a whole month? It sounded messy, unkempt... and definitely not something my garden-proud husband would go along with.
Once upon a time, he was the sort to treat a lawn like a green carpet: mowed in precise lines, edges crisply trimmed, every dandelion removed before it gets any funny ideas. The kind of person who refuses to make a single lawn care mistake.
