If you want more flowers in your grass for bees and other insects,don't mow it too often. Let it grow untill the clovers and other flowers finished flowering. The problem is that 'normal' grassmowers can't handle high grass. In this case you need a different kind of mower that cut the grass at the base. But this tool is very handy too: You can use the grass for mulching around trees etc.Or for feeding animals(hey). For having more flowers in the grass you have to avoid putting fertilizer containing nitrogen.Fertilizers containing fosfor and potassium(small amounts!) favorize clovers,but wood-ashes are doing fine for this too. cheers, Jaap
