I only mow the back about 3 times a year and the front 5 times. I have about 30ft surrounding 3 sides that I don't mow. I have a sign on one side by the road that says "butterfly habitat, no mowing". I've had folks stop and ask where I got it. I tell them the sign shop down the street made it for me. It wasn't very expensive and I had 3 of them made.
