It is August in the Triangle and nobody wants to mow. It's hot, it's tedious, and the grass grows back before the sweat dries.
An established Piedmont Prairie needs one cut a year. Add a trim around the edges to keep it looking intentional and you're done. No irrigation. No fertilizer. Instead of 25 to 40 mowings a season, you get one.
It takes two or three years of patience to get there. Then the yard starts working for you, not the other way around.
Watch as Basil explains the maintenance he does on this four-year-old native meadow.
