Not everyone has the privilege of land without close neighbors but for those of us who do it is very useful to not mow and allow what is natural to the land to grow. We do mow everything in the spring and maintain some of the land near the house and around the orchard but the rest is just left wild.
It is somewhat unsightly but we do have bees and butterflies and wild turkeys and hope to get some guinea fowl at some point if I can find a supplier close by.
We also have a "condo" for mason bees to pollinate the fruit trees in the spring.
