Many summer residents are of the opinion that a so-called “natural” ecosystem should be created in the garden.
This refers to the fact that insects and even some animals can help the gardener establish balance.
For example, we all know that there is a category of insects that destroys pests, and having a cat allows you to get rid of mice.
Let's see why Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert at the online publication Belnovosti, does not recommend mowing the lawn to zero.
Why it is better not to mow the grass completely
A mown lawn is like a cut-down forest for most insects and even animals.
Therefore, it is recommended to leave at least a small corner of uncut lawn in the area where grass and flowers grow naturally.
Wildflowers will attract bees, butterflies and other helpers to your garden.
Also, some summer residents install a green roof on an outbuilding or garage.
