Just not maintaining your shit isn’t some praiseworthy, heroic effort to benefit the community. Letting your once normal lawn grow out of control is not rewilding anymore than throwing your food scraps out the window is composting.
Sure, vast expanses of perfectly manicured fescue are not helping fireflies or other bug species, but let’s be real, knee high thistles, dandelions, and crabgrass is not providing a profound service either.
I’ve got Palm Warblers and Goldfinches up in that shit, and the flowers are absolutely covered in bees right now.
Also my yard sparkles at night. I’ll probably take the thistle down when it looks like its going to seed, since it’s not native, but while it’s providing useful habitat and not spreading, I’m going to let it be.
I believe like two people in this thread lol.

Sure, maybe. But my yard has frogs and fireflies in it and my neighbors’ don’t. That seems pretty empirical to me.
I mean, nobody asked if you believed anyone
👏👏👏
Luckily no one gives a shit what you believe.
And yet here you are commenting about it. Neat.
That all you got? Mine literally block the sun.
