We are in the tropics where grass cutters reign supreme for larger properties and machetes do the work on a smaller scale. I’m in an agroforestry context and you’ve described exactly how I started the “system” with planting saplings amongst the windrows on contour. Using a grass cutter and all the safety clothing in a “feels like” 100F humid day is utter, sheer madness.
Scything has also been very good for my mental health. Thank you for this Andy and Benjamin!
A friend of mine in her 60s does not own a mower and scythes her one-acre suburban yard herself.
Nice to hear this. I hope to be doing the same by the time I'm that age...
Scything changed my life!
