We've committed ourselves to avoid using powered machines for our yard, so I thought we could all share how we take care of our land.
We use a Sunlawn reel mower, which works wonders. It's very quick and effortless, and so quiet. It can even work on tall weeds with a few passes. However, there's a sectioned off part of our yard that gets overgrown with weeds and vines until you can't walk through it. It's usually not too bad to chop down by hand, but I'm about to buy some new grass shears.
I'm also starting to look for a scythe. I've read a lot online about how they can be really easy and quick to use, so I thought it would be good for chopping down large areas. Has anyone else used a scythe on their yard?
