If I leave the grass uncut...

Yes, scythes are easier for large areas, but sickles are NOT bad for your back if you get down on your knees .... A sickle is fine for up to about 100 square yards (not 100 yards square!) of long grass. Above that, I agree about the effort. But make sure that the sickle (a) is a proper agricultural one and not a footling little 'grass hook' and (b) keep it SHARP. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
