I personally think uncut is better as it looks more natural, and is probably better for bees and other insects. The flowers and other weeds that grow make it look nicer as well.

I don't think cutting a lawn is that bad as long as its not done too often, though.

edit: grass. This is a post about grass.

Edit: Lawns, like the grass in your lawn, jesus christ.

My dream:

In every city and town, local horticulture and landscaping shops would have hearty grass alternatives, a combination of plants selected from the local biome, that could withstand moderate foot traffic and don't require replanting every year.

I've never actually seen any horticulture shops offer such a seed package, granted I haven't really been looking since I don't have a house.

Uncut for bees

My brain in pain.

Cut, otherwise you do a line and you wake up in A&E.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

The Columbians get upset when you cut their shit; pride over that 'pure un-cut' label...

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

Cut smells better.

I thought this was about dicks.

Unless you're a medival peasant, I think its very likely you would cut your bread anyway. Pretty hard to eat without cutting.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You don't just casually naw on a whole loaf?

I do this with French loafs. Tear off a chunk.

Pretty hard to eat without cutting.

Not really. lol

I prefer meadow (or your biome's equivalent) lawns. Well actually I want a food forest, but natural lawns rock too

[–] Acamon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Uncut in general. But it can go a bit insane, with a few giant weeds that start turning into bracken. What works for us (but ymmv obvs) is having some dwarf goats or sheep. We move them around the property and they nibble the grass and weeds but don't make it a miserable mowed lawn. It looks like a lovely meadow. And they're surprisingly affectionate and relatively low maintence.

I can appreciate cut, uncut, they're all really beautiful. I guess I probably prefer uncut, just so they hang around a little longer.

Edit: Sorry, thought this was about flowers, not grass.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

Eh, flowers are in lawns, and are a big benefit to leaving it uncut.

[–] VAVHV@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Thanks for making me imagine bees and other insects on uncut grass

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Purposefully misinterpreting itI personally prefer uncut, and I'm uncut myself, although I'm not going to hold grudge towards anyone who has it done, or goes into the realms of genital modifications.
