When I moved in, I told my neighbor I only mow my yard once every 2 weeks. Something I read that said it would help the bees. He’s done the same to match. We also have lightning bugs now, which I didn’t notice the first year.
Are you supposed to do it more? When I lived with my parents and had access to a yard that’s about how much we did it (cause it was annoying to do it more)
I usually have to mow once a week when we’re not in drought, otherwise the lawn gets too high, but during the heat of summer I don’t have to mow at all because the grass goes dormant.
Too high for me is when even at the tallest setting my lawn mower struggles to cut which is probably like 6+ inches as a guess. Usually the first mow in the spring is difficult if I attempt “no mow may”.
I don’t understand how you’d ever be ‘tilling the soil’ unless you don’t know how to adjust your mower height, maybe you could elaborate?

what exactly is “too high”? because if you mowed once a week here you’d be tilling the fucking soil

Some people mow twice a week. Lawn is basically their hobby.
Is your neighbor Hank Hill by any chance?
If Hank Hill was my neighbor he would probably ask if he could take care of my yard just so he wouldn’t have to look at it.
