Environment - By-Laws

For a healthy lawn, opt for a polyculture 

Did you know that a variety of seeds can reduce soil erosion? For easy maintenance, mix the seeds among those proposed :

• Fine fescues (grass and dock)
• White clover
• Ryegrass
• Kentucky bluegrass

For a drought resistant lawn, cut the grass to 8 cm or 3 inches. 

When mowing, it is also interesting to practice grasscycling. This consists of leaving the grass cuttings on the ground after mowing to provide nutrients. Finally, it is a good idea to over-seed each year. To do this, add compost.

The environment will also thank you if you limit grassy areas.

To do this, sow ground covers:

• Periwinkle
• Bugleherb
• Lily of the valley
• Lysimachia

Or, use seeds that do not require mowing such as :

• White clover
• Bird's-foot trefoil
• Creeping thyme
• Violets
• Wild strawberry
• Sedum
• Spring bulbs

Finally, in May, push back the first lawn mowing. Leave the dandelions growing so that the pollinating insects can start the season well.
