I wish I could not mow my lawn. We have a million clover flowers and so many pollinators just chilling there and suddenly brummmmmmmmmmmm giant mower monster eats them. Why, what’s the point?
It's annoying AF, but I've started waiting until my lawn is approaching 8" (where the city starts getting pissy) to let everything try to go through as much of the lifecycle as it can before I have to chop it all down.
This is what I’m trying to do. I have one of those neighbors who mows once a week who will probably complain.
