Hi
I have a wildflower/grasses patch in the garden and i'm wondering the best time to cut it as i've read different suggestions elsewhere. At the moment i usually cut it once in april/early May and then in September. I use a strimmer making sure thers no frogs or hedgehogs etc by firstly poking around with a rake.
what is the best time to cut it, and what height to cut it to - in terms of providing the most benefit, and least potential harm to wildlife whilst cutting. I guess im doing something right at the moment as for the past two years ive had a number of gatekeeper butterflies around it, lots of young frogs too
many thanks
