EXACTLY! That’s why I’m turning my yard into a native habitat for all sorts of critters. I’m planting mushrooms, wildflowers, native shrubs and trees, ferns, etc. I’ve already noticed an uptick in the year and a half I’ve been doing it and maintenance is a breeze. Way easier than keeping up with grass and I love having some clover in the yard and the bees go nuts for it!
We stopped mowing our farm a few years ago. The insects that returned are crazy. Lightning bugs, bees of all kinds, tons of butterflies and our bat population for the few tiny caves we have has increased tenfold. It’s been a crazy transformation by…not doing work lol
