Last fall, hoping to attract more pollinators, I removed a section of
lawn and planted a mix of annual and
perennial wildflowers. It's only a small area (~80 sq ft), but has been a wonderful bee magnet, bringing in several species that I had never seen in my yard. Those
bees seem to be a boon to my fruit and vegetables, and I'd like to keep the
bees coming back. Unfortunately grass is already taking over the wildflowers. The grass is moving in even though the flowers are thick and completely shade the soil. I'm wondering if there's something easy I can do to slow the grass without having to dig it all up and start over. I'm in the
city and probably shouldn't burn. I'm afraid mowing would only speed the grass' dominance, but maybe there is a time of year when this would not be the case. Pulling the grass is tedious and tramples the desirable plants. I'm in a hot, humid area with mild winters, so the grass grows year round. Any advice?
