I remember BSK being a proponent of rotational mowing of fields. To increase biodiversity and utilization of a fallow field, he encouraged mowing it in thirds: 1 third year one, 1 third year two, and 1 third year three. By spacing the mowing out like that, he claimed you would have different plants growing due to succession. I agree…..Mowing is a tool……Timing of mowing is also a tool…..Mowing tends to favor grasses and reduce broadleafs. On the idea of diversity……I’ve also noticed that with changes in soil health comes changes in plant species composition. My field was nearly pure crabgrass when I first started…….The pic below was one of my very first experiments. A considerable difference in specie makeup compared to today. This process also works in reverse. You can go from lots of biodiversity to nothing but a field a crabgrass again by destroying the OM and reverting everything back to a field of poorly structured sand. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/30qz3e0.jpg)
