Re-thinking No Mow May

Update: 2023-04-24

Description

Check out my website, gardenbite.com, for the links and more information!
Today I want to focus on a popular initiative that is getting a 2nd look. That is No Mow May. The idea of it was to assist pollinators by allowing early flowering, however, I recently received information from University of Minnesota Extension turfgrass educator, Jon Trappe, wherein he explains that the trend was first promoted by a research paper that has since been retracted!
