Garden Rescue by Richard Bisgrove
“Don’t cut the lawn, don’t cut the lawn!
You will cut my little nestlings who have just been born.”
~The lark, to Mr. Pomeroy and Snapping Jack, the lawn mower,
in Margaret Mahey’s wonderful story, Don’t Cut the Lawn
Ah, lawn care. I’ve never paid too much attention to it. But after reading Richard Bisgrove’s little book, Garden Rescue, I just might pay a bit more. Of course, Bisgrove is a British author and garden expert writing about British lawns and gardens, and so his remedies for improving the quality of your lawn may not work with the grasses here in North America. (Lawn care experts, please comment!) However, in his experience, much can be done just by adjusting the height of the mower.
