Less is more
The heatwave forecast for next week has now turned into an extreme weather warning, with 40+ degrees Celsius , already drought restrictions are in force, which means private people are not allowed to water plants or wash cars, windows etc..
So at the start of the year when I decided only to cut a minimum of grass areas and not to do a large chop and drop mid season, has worked well, long vegetation Keeps soil temperature down and shades young trees and fruit bushes. It's also provides extra wildlife habitat and allows the development of new seedlings and a bigger wildflower seed bank.(Sometimes with plants like thistle it's not so good, although they can be weeded out individually.) On the whole it has produced more biomass and an impression of volume, at the same time making a sense of compaction and closeness. Proving that ultimately doing less is more.
