Apart from the odd beetle, worm and blackbird, a mown lawn is basically worthless to the environment. A lawn allows almost no organic matter to be returned to the soil because the grass clippings are generally removed. This means that (apart from the odd leaf that doesn’t get raked up) even the soil organisms that depend on organic matter (like earthworms) don’t get to feed and condition the soil, as they would in their natural state
A lawn also requires the annual application of fertilisers to maintain that super-green colour that every pensioner in the UK seems to be so totally obsessed about and a 10m x 10m lawn requires around 14,000 litres of fresh water in just one month. A much better alternative is to encourage wildflowers, mosses and clovers in at least parts of our lawns.
