> Over the course of the one-month study, unmowed plots of Kentucky bluegrass did not substantially support more flowers compared to plots mowed at two-and-a-half inches.

Who mows at 2.5 inches though?



Me. Set blade to highest & leave a few patches. Avoids dead grass in Summer even without watering lawn

Granted, I wouldn't mow if it wasn't for letters city sends me if weeds grow over 18cm tall (they wouldn't define what a weed was for me)


I grew up in Kentucky and our house had a lawn which we never fertilized, never seeded, and never watered. We cut it to about 4 inches high.


This is the recommended height for bluegrass.
