Same here. Hand tools are generally a better idea for most gardeners,
as we regularly conclude in urg.

Yes, they can. Pretty expensive, though!

There may be better places, (maybe try the nearest ACT or farmers'
co-op) but look at

But Spear & Jackson's "scythette" is only about 20 quid, and quite
useful.

Yes same place as secateurs-Lowes or Home Depot. Until it arrives you will
have to snip with your secateurs.

There's a 'vintage scythe' up for sale on ebay right now. Suit the Grim
Reaper, by the look of it :-)

Yes, but unfortunately, not every hardware shop has them. They tend to
come with a steel snathe these days.
