Man Doing "No Mow May" Spreads INVASIVE WEEDS Into His Neighbors YARDS 

No mow May is a new thing people won't cut the grass because of flowers blooming are food for butterflies and bees. It is dumb bees gather the pollen not just in May. It's just an excuse.

I think it's more of a case of Lazy Larry.

@@flyonawall6521i agree. Some people will use any excuse to be lazy.

I have gardens galore and do not use insecticides ne’er blooms for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. I have never seen or heard of bees and butterflies nibbling/ drinking nectar on top of grass , ever! It’s just laziness! Besides a hub for ticks!

😂

You're wrong! Wild flowers are much better for bees and bumblebees. Much better!

If you want to plant flowers , the best is organic seeds or plant ! Better for the bees ....🙏

Lazy excuse for losers for sure.

Your comment is good, but you have to realize that those perennials won't be up and producing until June/July. So the bees looking for early year food sources take advantage of the native plants and grasses to get them through until the perennials pop.

@@pjd3028 That's just not accurate. I have a large clump of purple perennial salvia that has been in full bloom since the beginning of May. It measures three feet across and is 16 inches tall and is covered in blooms from early May through October. It is also covered with bees from dusk until dawn each and every day, as is a large clump of perennial pink penstimon that measures two feet across and is 14 inches tall. Also, in April of each year I plant numerous clumps of purple alyssum (an annual) that has been in full bloom since the beginning of May and will continue to bloom all through the summer and fall right up until it starts to frost. This alyssum is not only a favorite of bees but also hummingbird moths which flock to my yard each year. So due to all of my efforts I provide a feeding habitat for bees and moths not just during the month of May but throughout the entire growing season.

Maybe someone could chip in and help him rent one and fill it up.

I have done the same thing before for the same reason. I work hard and take pride in having a well maintained yard.

For years....that's about terminal height for most grasses and the walk hasn't been cleared in at least 5 years. No mow May was a convenient answer....uhhhh yeah! No mow May. Now I can spend more time with my wife....uh ..Morgan Fairchild.

I totally agree…just lazy! We got new neighbor’s 2 years ago, couple with 10 years of college each . Well they’ve never cut the grass!! They’re persnickety on property lines, but god forbid they pick up their trash, branches or cut their lawn and weeds!Theyve trashed their yard and house. We are tick and lymes central and ticks love tall grass ! Lazy ! God, I wish they’d move!!!

@@CarriUSA 10 years of education? They're ENTITLED, not lazy!

Ok but I don't think the county likes that to be done, they want it cut

Except it’s not true. If you mean dandelions…that’s about it. Wild flowers are not grown in over grown grasses and butterflies and bees do not feed on grass seed tops. Now a hub for mosquitos, mice, ticks ( lymes disease), gnats, And their larvae, and other insects that are going to destroy your gardens and grass ……right🙄 FYI birds and bats don’t eat bees!

Well explained thank you

Good cause. No bees = no people.

What a lovely idea. But maybe if it was confined to a portion of the backyard that wasn't visible, the yard could still get cut and look nice and the pollinators coyote have access to the rest. Just a thought

😂😂

We moved to our property here in Tennessee and started caring for it two years ago. I can't tell you how many people have stopped to tell us how beautiful it is now that we are here. It does something for the soul to see garden beauty. As humans we need beauty all around us.🌹🥀🌻🥬

Especially on that back porch!!

I watched a video yesterday, guy didn't mow half the backyard because it was covered in dandelions, left for the bees.

Never heard of it either

Me too taking a Quick break are we 😅. ❤😊Love all your work.😊❤

I mow my lawn twice per week at the shortest height setting on my mower ....I like my lawn to be nice and short.

No mow mayto me thats A way of saying im too lazy to take care of my yard .. you did a nice job looks much better now.

Everyone in our town takes care of his property No one lives with tall grass-----too many copperheads that love tall grass!

In Quebec some towns ask not to cut the lawn in the spring. Some neighborhoods would really react badly towards you if you did mow your lawn. It’s the new «politically correct »

InNY we have no mow May also but if the grass gets over a certain height they still site you,, makes no sense

Smile from Rigaud. Quite understandable. Your grass is gorgeous!

@Doogie_Causey i agree i mow my grass in may just plant some Micro's and petunes that have blossoms on them for the bees my mom and i have ocd would be to stressed out esp with all the rains we gotten here in wi

The owner made it up.

Pesticides for insects, BUT kills the good ones, too. Herbicides for weeds or put down a pre-treatment very early so weed seeds won't germinate. I think this guy must like to aggravate his neighbors?

As hard as it is to keep a property clean and neat, it is actually easier than letting it go to hell and having to hire a clean up crew or a professional bush hogger.

@@donnaleveron5711 Ever thought of the insects, killed by pesticides, get fed to young birds? And thus kill the young birds!

@@Omaivo2904 And thus whoever feed on the birds which are then feed for other animals which in turn people feeds on and then it ends up back on that losers plate, good thing that if it kills losers, but like another people says it is not good for the Good ones. Soo. Can remove good too. Pesticides is not good.

@@Vero2yu What?

Some owners only want a place for SSSS (shower, s**t, shave, sit and sleep) and a place for their pallets!!

True, but I'm sure neighbors are appreciative.
