| Speaking of long lawn ...... |
I am always writing things down on scraps of paper. Not very modern, of me. The notes I'd made say that farmers are making a point of keeping their grasslands at a good length to sequester carbon, keeping grazing land grass at a length of 15-20cm and maintaining the green leaf.
I understand many farmers are taking the sheep off when the grass gets to 15 cm which is quite long. Similarly, residents in urban areas ideally shouldn't cut their lawns too short. Keeping the grass long holds in the carbon, holds in the nutrients and moisture too.
In our very obsessive compulsive age, we are tending to keep our residential lawns short, gardens very tidy, very few species (the minimalist effect, and this affects habitats) and we forget that OCD and nature are at odds with each other. It's common knowledge that if you cut the lawn too short, it will die.
I'm merely flagging this point about lawns, as I'm sure there are more informed posts out there, which I'll link to in due course.
A beautiful garden consists of lovely plants or flowers, artificial grass , or simply a landscaped lawn . Thanks for inspiring readers to do a garden check.
