The more people who participate the less my neighbours will feel emboldened to be constantly at me about mine
Always been a big fan of letting the garden tactically overgrow.
You could keep a mowedpath up and area unkempt but have the sides etc natural. Good on ya
Himself, who is participating in NMM under extreme duress, is convinced it’s a ploy by the lawnmower sales and repair cartel to ‘rake it in’ (sorry) come June!
Then in June when the bees think its safe we attack!
A few lads used to rent a house that had previously been used as a big grow house operation, after eventually being raided and the occupants fleeing the guards left the soil/pots after collecting the main plants.
The story goes the landlord used it and spread it out the back to improve the garden patches after(waste not) – a year went past and I’ve never seen the likes of the actual weeds that grew out the back.
Wasn’t short of the plants that shoot barbs from jumanji growing in the corner
Tbf you’re doing you’re local ecological bit. Good stuff ye scruff
You should get some chickens in that garden lad, could easily keep 3-4. These day eggs are a genuine tradable commodity
Looks great tbh
Do like I do and let the moss take over the lawn out of sheer laziness, and it’s no mow all year round!
What’ll your excuse be in June?
See, I think this is grand. I grew up in the country so I can nearly smell that photo. Now I live in a white box in a big city.
Lovely! what you could do then in June is to mow a path down the middle. You could even make it a windy one.
This is a great idea! Hope it catches on, fair play OP.
Causes cant mow my cutter is too shitty for long grass june

Should have thrown your seed down first
Hopefully you don’t live in phibsboro or you may be on the receiving end of a strongly worded letter by a concerned citizen
I love it. The bees and other small creatures love it too.
Cut ours on 29 April and it’s getting long enough too. Loads of buttercups and cornflowers, dandelions largely gone already.
Had to bury a cat the other day so sowed mixed wildflower seed on the turned soil, interesting to see what pops up to remind me of the poor wee fella.
We’re only half way through it and our lawn is wild. Is it just me or are there more dandelions than previous years everywhere you look? We had maybe 10 dandelions in the lawn last year which I dug out, this year its like a free for all. They’re all over all the neighbours lawns too (even though they’re still mowing). It’s like the earth itself is responding to the bee crisis.
Also grass under the toddlers raised hut thing for his slide is growing faster than the rest even though it would be more in the shade. If anything I thought the rest of the grass would grow quicker?
Top class! Your doing the work of the gods
Two goats 3 days
If I showed this to my dad I think he’d murder you.
Good for the bees!
I give my garden about 3 cuts with a strimmer a year. My neighbours would prefer if it looked more presentable. Wildlife is more important. There’s foxes, bats, hedgehogs and loads of midges and other insects that live around my garden, and I live in Dublin. I’ve better things to be doing than destroying habitats.
I thought this was meant for pubic hair
Go hálainn
Very nice
Why bother mowing
If I wanted a perfectly uniform lawn I’d buy AstroTurf not grass
I like it like that! I love the dandelions especially
Well done, absolutely it is
Do you have any I can borrow after May
Talk about thriving!! Looks great.
Rewilding is the way to go.
Risky click of the day
Looks better than mowed grass.
How about go on a whim and give it a strim? That’ll get the bulk of it under control to prevent small pets and children getting lost in it
Or get a goat?
Would it be so bad if we just let everything grow out of control? The hours invested and petrol burnt just so that you can take the odd glance at the lawn and think it looks nice. I live in an estate where every cunt manicures their lawn. I cut and do the odd bit of weeding at the front but the back can get fucked. It enrages me how people have so little going on in their lives. All for appearances.
“No Mow May” can ask my bollocks. Good luck cutting back that jungle come June.
Looks much better then trimmed grass, also great for the environment
I left my back garden wild for 4 years now, planted trees, soon planting two plum trees, big improvement in insect numbers, amount of spiders, ants etc. Plus more tree seedlings! Going great.

The bees will be very happy!
There’s a nice variety there, good for the bees and butterflies
It’s long before May since that garden had some TLC
Easy way to keep the neighbours from selling.
Fuck a few old bikes back there as well
Nice collection of spear thistle there, so called because it’ll cut you to ribbons if you go near it! The bumble bees love it though.

No mow may turns into feck this strimming June.
Good! Give the pollinators a chance!
Fair play OP
May…2022
