<li>Mow less frequently. <br> Geese prefer to eat the shorter, younger shoots of turf grass. Reducing mowing saves maintenance budget, and on [[vegetation filter strips]] and in [[enhanced grass swales]] the roughness (Manning's 'n') is increased. Increased roughness slows the flow of water,permitting more of it to infiltrate into the soil. </li>
