Joel Ashton 🍃🌳🍃 Rescue Hoad's Wood 🍃💚🍃 I completely agree Joel. I have never understood the concept of #nomowmay and have always had a #nomosummer in a patch in the garden. Otherwise I would not get any oxeydaisies, poppies or corncockle!

There’s something that needs addressing. I felt compelled to make this video to explain why a #NoMowMay , if undertaken on its own, is a PROBLEM for #wildlife . This video will no doubt ruffle feathers, but people need the right information👇 #NoMowSummer

#NoMowMay = no aspires los campos, deja crecer las flores que son alimento para miles de insectos y pájaros, esos mismos que cantan tan bonito durante el día ) 🪻🌾🌼🌾

Warwickshire County Council Yes. Please watch this video. #NoMowMay is a disaster. Grasses/flowers must be left until ideally mid September. We saw you last June frantically cutting all the long grass. Why invite insects there and then destroy everything mid cycle? Nonsensical.

#NoMowSummer

No one likes mowing the grass anyway. Worth a watch.

🧵(2/2) Joel has also suggested alternatives for those who cannot undertake a full meadow transformation to your garden, including mowing a border for wildlife or planting out a nectar lawn. You only need a meter squared patch to start with rewilding 💚youtube.com/watch?v=MpCyG8…

🧵(1/2) Just watched Joel Ashton 🍃🌳🍃 's video on 'No Mow May'. He has made some very good points about planning for wildlife in the longer term and not simply devoting one month to e.g no mowing, strimming ect... (more on the next post below) #wildlife #gardening

Joel Ashton 🍃🌳🍃 I have turned #nomowmay into #nomowsummer for the past 5 years. The result last year was having 3 of these beauties (sorry for the poor photo

Don't do #NoMowMay do #NoMowSummer !

#NoMowSummer

Joel Ashton 🍃🌳🍃 A similar situation with set-aside schemes on arable farms when I did my MSc research project years ago. Years of great habitat evolving then all gone the next year just when ground nesting birds (plus other groups) had maximized their use of the temporary site.

Joel Ashton 🍃🌳🍃 I did no more May last year and it turned into now may summer. So much wildlife appeared, new (to me) meadow butterflies, I just couldn't mow after seeing them ♥️ I maintained the strips around borders, I think it worked well, will be doing the same this year

Really easy to understand video here and answered many questions I’ve had in recent years about No Mow May. Last year especially, when I accidentally injured a beautiful moth in the longer grass. Like Dry January these things are only as good as the behaviour change they inspire

A fine display of dandelions and a couple of others at our place in mid Powys attracting insects, fabulous! Missed the peacock butterfly, sorry. We always get a fair few new species, lovely to see them doing their thing. Iolo Williams Bee Network Cath HODSMAN, Insect Art Joel Ashton 🍃🌳🍃

Putting the ride-on mower into storage for #NoMowMay ? Think about extending this to a #NoMowSummer

Tips from Joel Ashton 🍃🌳🍃 here!

#NoMowSummer If you’ve got grassy patches you can leave for #bees #Butterflies and other useful #insects and #Wildlife don’t mow until mid-late September. #VIDEO via Joel Ashton 🍃🌳🍃
