BigBill said:The weeds will out compete the grass. Most plants that we consider to be weeds in our lawns are faster growing then grass. I think of crabgrass as an example.
It loves a broader range of temperature, can withstand dry conditions, loves to be walked on, takes any type of light and you think that by keeping the lawn unmowed that somehow the weeds will be held in check! ? Good luck with that theory.

Weeds will easily outcompete the grass when it is cut too short. But a good cover of 3" high grass will generally shade out most weed seeds.
