My state has finally taken to allowing native grasses and other plants to grow in order to benefit monarch butterflies. They only mow twice a year to help promote growth. I've been complaining for years about how it's a waste of money and looks terrible. Now it looks amazing with all of the variety of grasses and flowers growing.
The reason so much of Scotland is treeless is because humans deforested it and killed off the apex predators, meaning that animals such as deer are free to eat saplings and prevent regeneration
Fun* fact: Lars Ulrich has amassed more than twice as much wealth personally suing fans for mispronouncing the name of his city of birth Gentofte than he ever earned being the drummer of Metallica!
i will never understand why people insist on mowing grass so short, what the fuck is the point of having it if you're going to cut so short you're partially plowing the soil??????
nah actually cutting grass is a bit cringe. rare scottish L

It's just that Scottish weather is so shit, the grass doesn't grow there
On the contrary! Rain helps grass grow! 😉
Yeah, but I hear it also needs sunlight
Damn, foiled by lack of photosynthesis again!
Scottish meadows look neat tho
That's very very true! Here's one looking its best without the photographer adding an unrealistic blue sky in post:

That's why you never see Scottish people camping, just lost english people drawn mistakenly in by the thought of a treeless paradise

We're talking thousands of years ago though, half of scotland was deforested before the Romans' came
That is true, but until very recently it hasn't exactly gotten better
Midge Ure rejects your slander and will see you in court!
Thin Lizzy? Hell yeah, I'll happily see him in court as long as he brings his guitar
That's how litigious rock stars get you!

Right? I have my mower on the second to highest setting. If you mow it too short you're just letting the soil dry out faster.
You mow your grass short to make your neighbour's grass look too long
