And the lack of dead leaf cover over winter.

We’ve stopped mulching at the end of the year. We let the leaves fall and stay. In the spring we wait a long time until the grass is quite long.

Loose the bees and things will get bad, quickly.

We replaced our grass with clover as the bees like the flowers.

Chuck some creeping thyme into it also and some creeping camomile.
